From a brief in aviation
to one recognizable brand.

We worked with China Southern Airlines on a series of holiday campaigns for their brand. They asked us to incorporate Chinese lanterns — like the ones lit at festivals — into the key visuals.

Strategy

Make the brand
impossible to ignore.

The campaign ran across their website for several months, reaching millions of visitors worldwide and delivering a visual experience that honoured the cultural tradition behind the imagery.

01 / Narrative

One clear story.

Connect every touchpoint into a single, coherent narrative instead of disconnected assets — so international travellers instantly understand who they are.

02 / Distinction

Stand apart.

Give the brand a distinctive visual signature that separates it from everything else in aviation and earns a second look.

03 / Recognition

A repeatable system.

Establish logo, typography and colour rules that stay consistent from the first impression to the hundredth.

04 / Scale

Built for every surface.

Design a system that travels cleanly from digital to print, campaign and environment without losing its character.
