Production Technology
Using traditional Chinese painting:ink painting to create logo, which is a simple but artistic crane. the final products, e.g. business card, greeting card applied gold stamping on special paper, showing a tastefully low key luxury design.
Design Challenge
As the resort building was designed by architects from western country, whereas the site is in china, we need to combine traditional Chinese aesthetic with Western simplicity into branding design.
Research
Team members visited the site Huangbai mountain for three times, during the site visit, took large amount of site photos including unique plants and animals there. those elements finally be used in later stage design. Meanwhile, we did lots of background research on it culture and history aspects, in order to make the design more meaningful and powerful.
Inspiration
Design team applied traditional Chinese aesthetic feeling meanwhile kept its simplicity to the design. The reason to use the crane as a logo, is associated with the dream life that lots of people who choose to live in mountains desired: living idle lives like the cloud and wild crane, there is also a meaning of artistic conception. Designers got inspired by the rich characteristics of wild animals and plants in Huangbai mountain, therefore came up with different icons to represent wild animal and plants by using the same pattern element.
Project Duration
The project started in Jan 2019 in Hangzhou and finished in April 2019 in Hangzhou.
