OCT Happy Hour Wayfinding Signs

OCT Happy Hour

Corbusier architectural language is well extracted and expressed in the wayfinding-sign design in this project.

Dona Vitamina Branding

Dona Vitamina

Dona Vitamina is a brand identity project created for an existing juice brand. The logotype shows a cross-eyed Victorian lady sipping a juice, a humorous image of a woman who owns herself. To expand that idea, a series of illustrations of women of different ethnicities was drawn in a stencil style and paired with short, amusing phrases. The illustrations appear on menus, packaging, bags, postcards, stickers and a large handmade wall. Most printed items were produced by offset printing in CMYK colors, and the bags were silkscreened.

Archadia Brand Identity

Archadia

Archadia is a brand identity created for a higher education school of architecture based in Venice, Italy.

The blue color reflects the institutional role of the school and the water of the Venice lagoon. The vector logo works on light and dark backgrounds.

Sxdesign Brand Identity

Sxdesign

Sxdesign is a brand identity created for a design studio based in Beijing, China. Every detail of the logo follows a 1:1.414 ratio, which gives the mark a compact and composed appearance. Small graphic elements in the corners recall quotation marks and frame the rectangles of the logo. The arrangement makes the mark symmetrical and suggests the citation, marking and interpretation of language and ideas. Through motion graphics, the logo can also grow into the traditional Chinese form of the studio name, linking tradition and modern design.
