Our brief was to brand a new academic programme for one of Japan's oldest universities. Our solution was to develop a comprehensive plan encompassing visual identity, strategic PR and advertising.
To let a Japanese university recognize as global and wants to increase the number of the examinees.
Since the name of the programme is PEARL, we took the layered structure of pearls as a design motif to communicate the idea that students can grow in wisdom and knowledge like a pearl grows in beauty and lustre. With bold, distinctive graphic design we presented the staid,conservative world of academia in a fresh new light.
