Unique Properties
The brand name WOW LONG is also the nickname of Zhuge Liang. Innovation comes from the brand-new design of this Chinese historical figure. Zhuge Liang’s new comic image on the packaging removes his old serious impressions in people’s minds. Simultaneously, the surprising word “Wow” coming from his mouth brings the chewy taste and funny experience of this snack food to the extreme.

Design Challenge
How to make young people like traditional food, how to retain the visual assets of old packaging to the new packaging design
Project Duration
The project started in October 2022 in Beijing and finished in April 2023 in Beijing.
Operation Flow
we made three key design actions that allowed Wo Long to show a quite different brand personality. First, we used young people's favourite comic style to establish the visual tone of the product. Secondly, we exaggerated Zhuge Liang's facial expression to reflect the snack's unique taste of "chewy and funny". Finally, we updated the brand name “Wo Long” to “Wow Long”. Zhuge Liang’s funny facial expression with his surprising word “Wow” provides consumers with the emotional values of happiness, energy and humour.
Research
Chinese traditional snacks - rice crust is facing the problem of product homogeneity and image ageing. We use the language we can communicate with young people, the way they like to express, to give them a new understanding of wowlong, so that they can have an emotional resonance.
Inspiration
The brand name “WO LONG” is also the nickname of the famous Chinese historical figure Zhuge Liang. Inspired by this, the overall brand design is set to be younger while maintaining the portrait of Zhuge Liang. We redesigned his image with a humorous comic style and replaced the first word of the brand name “Wo” with the spoken word “Wow”. The rebranding of Wo Long is not only an upgrade of a traditional snack brand but also a new understanding of rice crust from the perspective of young consumers.
