DESIGN NAME: Kairi Murakami
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Brand Identity Redesign
INSPIRATION: I actually stayed and experienced the splendor of the place called Iki using my own eyes, nose, mouth, and all five senses.
Here, both customers who have come once and those who have come for the first time can experience the finest Iki cuisine and hot springs that flow directly from the source, but this scenery overlooking Yunomoto Bay is the biggest welcome to us. It was the hospitality and symbolized the second home.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: From the perspective of a special place that has not changed since Iki Island was once called "Ikikoku", I designed the kanji "Ichi (The shape is a horizontal line)" used in the name. I expressed this scenery, which is the first thing that customers see when they visit a hotel as a symbol.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The main concept of the brand is to design a landscape that would be our second home for the customers.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Started in July 2019 and ended in March 2020 in Nagasaki, Japan.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The logo is composed of straight lines and circles, expressing a powerful and memorable scenery. The colors are designed with gradations that remind us of the evening when the sunsets.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Many elements such as hall signs, business cards, letterhead, etc. were created from the logo.
