Design Challenge
Helping the client to find the best solution is always a challenge. The design team hosted some workshops to discuss with the client, to figural out their main concern.
Yibang design team had several interviews with the client and the brand target audiences. These interviews provided insights that really helped structure the brand value in a visual way.
Research
The research objective was to analyze the client’s direct competitors, and also include a lot of visual research for outside competitors. The focus was on the manufacturing industry and kitchen application cases. The goal was to find out the best solution to fit our client’s goal, and communicate new brand positioning.
Inspiration
The new brand name Xphere is inspired by the client’s Chinese name – Rongxing, which means prosperous sphere. It’s a great challenge that combines the Chinese name meaning with the English name meaning together and creates a visual language. The research and exploration process led to an identity inspired by the star's nice shapes, and the design team found a perfect cutting shape on both the English logo mark and Chinese logo mark. They also incorporated the star concept as a visual element.
Project Duration
The project started in October 2020 in San Francisco and finished in February 2021 in Beijing.
Operation Flow
The client was keen to ensure that the branding was appealing to a high end customer and especially for main cities in China. The client will start their main advertising campaign in 2021 on China popular social media, such as Red and TikTok. The overall visual language is compelling and youthful.
