About Sxdesign Brand Identity

Sxdesign is a brand identity created for a design studio based in Beijing, China. Every detail of the logo follows a 1:1.414 ratio, which gives the mark a compact and composed appearance. Small graphic elements in the corners recall quotation marks and frame the rectangles of the logo. The arrangement makes the mark symmetrical and suggests the citation, marking and interpretation of language and ideas. Through motion graphics, the logo can also grow into the traditional Chinese form of the studio name, linking tradition and modern design.

Production Technology: Every detail of the logo uses a 1:1.414 ratio. This proportion makes the logo look compact and composed. In the left and right direction, the circle slightly protrudes from the rectangle to compensate for the visual deviation.
Design Challenge: The Chinese name and core concept of Sxdesign are very profound and abstract. At the same time, sxdesign also hopes to convey its emphasis on the connection between tradition and modernity. The challenge of the project is to use a simple and modern logo to convey rich information while making a connection with the Chinese name.
Research: Research has shown that the similar elements can evoke familiar experiences in human brain. The symbol similar to quotation marks, and the visual framework similar to the citation remind people of related experiences about language. Sxdesign uses such brand image to express that it attaches great importance to information and hopes to create significance for the world through design, just like people use language to build meaning.
Inspiration: As a design studio in China, “SX” stands for Chinese “ShangXiang” which taken from “Yi Chuan”. The name expounds the brand core opinion: To build significance of daily life through the observation, extraction, abstraction and reorganization of phenomena. We think the role of human language is the same too. So, we excite people's imagination of language to express the culture of the brand and to build a connection between the logo and the Chinese name.
Project Duration: Fr. November 2021 to January 2022, Beijing, China.
Operation Flow: The brand stimulates a kind of imagination about language, that is, sxdesign is glad to face people's various languages and ideas, such as the phenomena of market, the voices of clients, the requirements of users. And then the brand can cite them, understand them, mark them, communicate with them and create significance through them.
