About Niulanshan 酒瓶包裝

牛欄山係一款中國白酒品牌嘅限量版包裝設計，為牛年而推出。酒瓶用玻璃製造，包裝盒則以木材製成。設計避開寫實手法，採用現代而抽象嘅造型。瓶身上一道刀削般嘅直線，象徵牛隻剛健嘅體魄同埋堅毅不屈嘅性格。品牌標誌只保留書法字「牛」，即係牛嘅意思。最後一筆刻意延長，寓意中文詞語「牛到底」，寄託達成目標嘅祝願。設計旨在吸引年輕消費者。

Design Challenge: In mid 2020, Niulanshan has begun planning the launch of Year of the Ox limited edition, not only the Ox Year carries weight to the brand, but also with NIU meaning "Ox", the brand is originated from a golden bull that brings welfare in ancient stories. Niulanshan hopes to ditch realism used in past Zodiac limited editions, aiming to attract young consumers with a contemporary abstract design.
Research: Using 12 as a cycle, each lunar year is represented by an animal, and 2021 is the year of the ox. The 12 zodiac signs and the 24 solar terms constituted an important tool for ancient Chinese to calculate time, predict the weather, and harvest mulberry. Chinese has much love and imagination for the zodiac, and Chinese liquor brands launch limited editions targeting different zodiacs yearly.
Inspiration: We focused on escaping from old-fashioned realism, using a more modern abstract design. The blade-sliced straight line of the bottle body conveys the tough carcass and the uncompromising character of an Ox.
