DESIGN NAME: Coca-Cola Tet 2014
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Soft drink packaging
INSPIRATION: The inspiration for the design came from the thousands of Tết decorations & Tết wishes we find all around the country. The typography is inspired by traditional calligraphy as well as Coca-Cola's Spencerian script.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: To create a series of Coca-Cola cans which spread millions of Tết wishes nation wide. We utilized Coca-cola's Tết symbol (the Swallow Bird) as the device to form these wishes. For each can, hundreds of hand-drawn swallows were crafted and carefully arranged around a custom script, which together form a series of meaningful Vietnamese wishes.
"An", means Peace.
"Tài" means Success,
"Lộc" means Prosperity.
These words are widely exchanged throughout the holiday, and traditionally adorn Tết decorations.
