Finding a brand new narrative for WALLPAPER* CHINA DESIGN AWARDS
Wallpaper* China Design Awards
We developed the digital branding for Wallpaper* China Design Awards 2023 held in Beijing. Our 360 approach included branding, guidelines for visual communication, and signage to elevate the event's identity.
Everything started with the logo
We revamped the two-dimensional asterisk Wallpaper logo, turning it into a seemingly cockade to embody its award function. We then designed nine asterisk-like characters, each one representing a different award.

A tailored narrative
To do so we played with primary colors and color block designs, developing a vibrant and dynamic identity.

From digital to physical signage
We crafted Wallpaper's digital, social, and physical profiles, with the latter seamlessly extending its presence across the cityscape. We then edited several teasers, shortlist announcements, winner videos and so on, incorporating the characters to boost brand recognition and enhance the new design.
