RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Research for the loquat fruit and loquat leaves shapes, the style of Japan simplism, how to use white color well to build up the product identity style. Client provided their Japanese farm picture to us, those pictures are full of peacefulness, elegant and pure spirit, same as their concept of the product producing. I want to enhance the product identity to promote a new way of enjoying tea and healthy, feeling the mood of the company spirit by just look at the package.
CHALLENGE: Ying is a Chinese word that has lots of strokes, a logo aimed to be as simple as it can for target audience easy to identify, so it takes time to modify the way of writing.
