Taishun City

Brand Identity for Taishun County People's Government

This project aims to create the city brand image. In the design concept, it achieves a balance between two elements: Taishun forms an open and variable tangible part, while white space becomes the intangible part. To meet the diverse application needs of city brand construction, this logo can be interpreted with variations in lines and strong recognition through spatial design, symbolizing the infinite possibilities of the city and having great potential for development.

The internal white space also provides room for showcasing visual symbols of the city, which implies high development potential of this city.

Research

From the beginning of the design process, this solution aims to integrate the multi-level symbolic meanings of Taishun city (such as the characters representing the city, the bridge representing the culture, and the lines representing connection) in an organic and modern minimalist way. In today's China, where young people's aesthetics are becoming increasingly modern and open-minded, a modern and minimalist approach is an important means to captivate them.
