DESIGN NAME: Snow Breweries - Snow Beer
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Beer
INSPIRATION: We were inspired by an ancient poetic line, “Snow falls in Changan” and a classic architecture of Chinese style, Taihe Palace. We combined the two main features of them in a picturesque and coherent way as the building remains still and peaceful while the snow is drifting profusely and disorderly. The snowflake illustrated in a Chinese way and the building’s solemnity and grandness lead to recognition of cultural identity among Chinese and thus help the brand stand out in the world beer market.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The product’s name of snow beer suggests the feeling of cool and icy. By symbolizing it into a pattern, we created this hexogonal emblem through illustrating a snowy world, which is elaborated with the method of joint-use of graph. We depict sport, travel, and nature so consumers will be impressed with the association and memory about snow. At the lower part, the mosaic process of a poetic scene, “Snow falls in Changan”, accomplishes the graphic design, which is both detailed and panoptic.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: With the limited space of the package, we tried to demonstrate the spirit of the brand and interpret "snowflake". In our design, we successfully differentiate the brand from others with the hexagonal symbol of snowflake and the unique color, which enhances its identifiability. And the graph design also helps showcase the combination of modern Chinese culture.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started from July 2017 and finished in September 2017.
The design is done in Shenzhen, proofing in Shanghai, production in Beijing.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We have done a serial informal research about the brand's color as we need to make our client stand out from the rest of the market. We finally found the special Marrs Green, which is claimed to be the top 1 popular color in the world.
CHALLENGE: The client worried about the color of green at the very beginning, thinking it was too bold and way too fashionable compared with their formal package. But with the support of the research, the client finally agreed to our proposal.
