By adjusting the typeface, the Tsingtao logo has been upgraded, adding elements like a cast matching with a gold and wooden texture. A family-crest-like totem is created, offering an authentic historical touch. The illustration is recreated from a Gold Certificate won by Tsingtao from the 1906s Beer Championship in Munich; composed of lilacs, wheat, butterflies, beer barrels and the goddess Hestia; from afar, sits the Tsingtao factory, museum, brewing masters in carriages and another goddess.

TIGER PAN is a contemporary, valuable packaging designer, and is recognised in the industry as the “craftsman” with both aesthetic spirit and business value. With his own characters and a restricted quantity of products, he only produces 10 designs annually, but receives the most awards in the industry. This includes 5 Red Dot Awards (including the first mainland China “Red Dot Award Best of the Best”) and 50 different awards including 11 Pentawards. He always had a strong belief that products were the best representation of design value. By using a subversive, creative design, it pushes forward the product’s evolution of aesthetic appreciation and upgrade of value. There is never a need of conflict or negotiation between design and business, because an unexpected business value is always created with the design. He is constantly studying and exploring in the field of aesthetics, and is also a guest professor at seven Chinese institutions of higher learning. Because of some mild deep-rooted arrogance, he has even stricter guidelines for himself than those around him. As a designer, it is rare that he doesn’t stay up late, and his working hours are from 5am to 10am. The rest of his time is used for cross country running, supercar racing, caravan camping, antique collecting, and other interests and hobbies. He has a passion for his life and work, and enjoys sudden inspiration and the joy it brings.
