The Design

About Jiangmen Culture and Tourism Logo en merkidentiteit

Jiangmen Culture and Tourism is een logo en merkidentiteit ontworpen voor de culturele en toeristische sector van Jiangmen, een stad in de provincie Guangdong in Zuid-China. Het logo is geïnspireerd op het traditionele Chinese karakter Men, wat poort betekent, en op de structuur van de gedenkpoort. Elementen ontleend aan het stadsbeeld, de architectuur, het cultureel erfgoed, het landschap en de planten van Jiangmen zijn samengebracht binnen de poortvorm. Mat goud verwijst naar een stad die rijk maar bescheiden is. Er is een merkidentiteitsrichtlijn ontwikkeld om een consistente toepassing te ondersteunen.

Design Challenge: Jiangmen is a city with long and complicated history. It contains 4 counties and 3 districts. The special requirement for this project is to show the highlights of these 4 counties and 3 districts equally and adequately. Through in-depth study on culture and history of Jiangmen, we form the current design that can place numerous elements.
Research: This project began with a comprehensive research both quantitative and qualitative. Multiple methods were employed including desk research, internet survey, on-site investigation, interview, group discussions and seminars. The result shows Jiangmen lack of recognition and the characteristics and unique culture and tourism assets of Jiangmen has little awareness as tourist destination. Based on this result we developed our creative idea: to show abundant scenery of Jiangmen in one logo that shaped as gate.
Inspiration: Jiangmen is a city in Guangdong Province in southern China. The city is considered as hometown of most overseas Chinese. It is because a large amount of overseas Chinese is originated from Jiangmen. They brought Memorial Archways, a traditional arch structured Chinese architectural which can be found in many entrances of villages in China, to many countries. Memorial Archway becomes symbol of Chinatown now. For the purpose of attract overseas Chinese to visit Jiangmen, the local government initiated this project and requested a new brand logo for its culture and tourism section.
Project Duration: June 2019 – April 2020, Shanghai, China
Operation Flow: To communicate the visual identity with target audience, an official logo launch event was hold and an advertising video was published via omni channel communication. To build a consistent brand visual identity and its application, a brand identity guideline was provided and a training session was conducted. Various applications of brand identity were demonstrated, such as stationary, digital media, printed materials, etc. Application of logo in infrastructure of Jiangmen, local products were also listed in the guideline.
