Ranger is a visual identity created for a hotel that serves young travellers. The identity compares each guest to a ranger, a character known from fantasy stories. A ranger mask is used as the main creative element, and a series of ranger equipment symbols is derived from it. The symbols are applied to office supplies and hotel supplies in standard sizes, and they are also used for items that invite guests to interact. The logo is printed with laser foil stamping, so the surface shows a changing shine when viewed from different angles.

Research
Ranger Hotel is an international hotel, and the difficulty of the project is that there are many differences between the Chinese "Xia" and the Western "Xia", or even completely different. As a Chinese designer, how to recognize and understand the essence of Western "chivalry" in this project is particularly important. Through reading a large number of literature and books, as well as searching for clues of "Xia" from a large number of movies, and expressing it through symbolic, visual, and intuitive forms, and finally using the method of character equipment deconstruction to achieve this visual system.
Inspiration
The design compares visitors to "rangers." In fantasy stories, practitioners are basically elves. The visual system uses the Ranger Mask as the creative element to extend a series of Ranger equipment symbols, the purpose of which is to create derivatives from these symbols to allow visitors to interact, so that every traveler can experience the Ranger.
