DESIGN NAME: Zhuliguan Hote
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Hotel Logo
INSPIRATION: The brand name comes from Zhuliguan (Bamboo Villa), a poem written by WANG Wei, who was a poet in Tang Dynasty of China. The logo pattern presents a course of gradual change. He was inspired by the philosophy of Chinese traditional Taoism- "Out of Tao, One is born; Out of One, Two; Out of Two, Three; Out of Three, the created universe" from Chapter 42 of Tao and Teh by Laozi, which was the cosmogony of Laozi.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Zhuliguan is a themed hotel focusing on bamboo culture and we simplify the house into an ink dot, presenting the course of a wind-flown bamboo leaf passing by an ink dot (house) and turning into a bird. This change is a course of growing out of nothing. The pattern seems like both a bamboo and a swallow, enabling us to expect a new journey
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: We have developed souvenirs for the project and refined the copywriting of "The foolish ask more and the wise do not doubt", which has been applied on notebooks, handbags and T-shirts. The souvenirs are loved by all guests, including children, and they can easily understand what the logo is intended to express.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project was started in Hangzhou, China in June 2017 and completed in Hangzhou, China in August 2018.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design
