This case study explores the creative process of designing a wedding logo and brand identity for Yuki Yin 殷乐宜, a dear friend of 18 years, and her husband He Chen 陈贺.

Design Rationale

To begin, extensive research was conducted, examining Chinese calligraphy, geometric shapes, and architectural features of the Great Wall. This phase involved gathering references and exploring traditional and contemporary design elements.
The creative process involved sketching numerous iterations to combine the last names 殷 and 陈 into cohesive shapes. Various geometric forms were explored to capture the essence of their names, while initial concepts were drafted to incorporate the grandeur of the Great Wall.
Incorporating Chinese calligraphy, distinct typefaces were crafted to represent the last names 殷 and 陈. These typographic elements aimed to reflect their cultural heritage and express elegance, with careful attention paid to strokes and balance.
Architectural elements such as the Great Wall silhouette, watchtowers, and intricate patterns were seamlessly integrated into the design. Balancing these elements with the typography, the logo began to take shape, embodying both the couple's shared heritage and their wedding's breathtaking location.
A color palette was meticulously chosen, considering traditional Chinese hues and wedding-associated tones. Colors were selected to evoke emotions of love, happiness, and warmth, while maintaining harmony and legibility within the logo design.
Promising sketches were digitized, refining the composition, proportions, and details using design software. Iterations were made, exploring different arrangements, sizes, and colors, ensuring a polished and visually appealing result.
