Brief Explanation

Our brief was to brand a new academic programme for one of Japan's oldest universities.

The Brief

To let a Japanese university recognize as global and wants to increase the number of the examinees.

How the final design was conceived

Our solution was to develop a comprehensive plan encompassing visual identity, strategic PR and advertising. 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.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

With bold, distinctive graphic design we presented the staid,conservative world of academia in a fresh new light.
