The logo design of ABTea encompasses the creative vision of its founder. Our client envisioned a brand that reflects the community aspect of tea drinking — an activity commonly carried out for the sake of conversation and sharing. The founder's own name sounds like the Chinese character for "fish", and requested for a monogram that infuses her spirit animal with her product. Taking both ideas into consideration, we sketched a fluttering design that resembles both a wavy fish tail and a floating tea leaf. This graphic swirls in a circular vessel, composing the ABTea monogram.
ILLUSTRATION + Packaging
The client had a unique idea to create a "tea book" to enhance the concept of sharing tea. From this, we designed their packaging. The book is wrapped with a premium linen, and a custom illustration we painted was applied to its inside cover. Six cube drawers showcases different flavours of tea, while two longer drawers hold a copper spoon and additional tea bags.
