By emphasising a natural element as the key source of inspiration, we created a new visual system. Colors have been chosen to exude feelings of warmth, elegance and comfort. The new contemporary logo steers away from traditional Chinese characters to complement its modern fonts while remaining faithful to the Chinese culture through its symbolic shape.
