Drawing on the theme of fusion, we created a custom logotype using western typography but adopting the style of traditional Chinese calligraphy.
Process
In order to replicate the style used in Chinese calligraphy, characterised by its brush work and sense of flow, it was essential to begin the process by hand. We experimented with different mediums including pen and ink to develop the mark, adding curved accents inspired by dragon tails, synonymous with Chinese design. These added character to the design and allowed us to ensure balance and symmetry.
