Production Technology

The visual identity was developed using a combination of digital design and traditional cultural research. The logo and patterns were created using vector-based design software, ensuring precision and scalability. A modern woven-style graphic system was developed to mirror the cyclical nature of Chinese traditions. The color palette was carefully calibrated for both digital and print applications, maintaining consistency across packaging, website, and brand materials.

Design Challenge

The main challenge was balancing cultural authenticity with modern aesthetics. Traditional religious goods often feature intricate, ornate designs, while contemporary branding leans toward minimalism. Finding a middle ground required deep research into historical motifs and modern design principles. Another challenge was ensuring the design resonated across generations, from older practitioners to younger consumers seeking a refined, meaningful connection to their heritage.

Project Duration

The project began in August 2024 and was developed in Shanghai, China for Singapore.

Operation Flow

The identity system is designed for seamless integration across touchpoints, creating a cohesive brand experience. The woven pattern and color palette ensure immediate recognition, while the scalable logo adapts to various formats without losing clarity. The packaging enhances the ritual experience by balancing tradition with modern aesthetics, making religious goods more visually appealing and accessible for a new generation.

Research

The research combined cultural studies, consumer insights, and material exploration. The objective was to modernize Chinese religious goods while respecting tradition. Methods included analyzing historical artifacts, conducting interviews with religious practitioners, and studying contemporary design trends. Insights revealed a gap in the market for a refined, modern approach. The resulting identity system bridges heritage and contemporary aesthetics, making traditional products relevant to today’s audience.

Inspiration

The design draws inspiration from the intricate craft of Chinese knotting, an ancient folk art deeply rooted in Buddhism and Taoism, symbolizing unity and good fortune. This motif reflects the interconnectedness of tradition and modernity, aligning with Base' mission to preserve cultural heritage while adapting to contemporary design sensibilities. By reinterpreting traditional patterns with a modern aesthetic, the identity system bridges generations, ensuring cultural relevance.
