LOGO
The logo is composed of softly interconnected small circles, symbolizing the bonds formed between people over drinks while capturing the gentle, swaying sensation of being tipsy. Each circle represents diversity and inclusivity, reflecting the unique connections that emerge in social settings. Designed with versatility in mind, the logo also serves as a dynamic graphic motif, adaptable across various applications to convey its meaning with warmth and creativity.



The color palette reflects the vibrant and dynamic nature of the expo, utilizing a variety of hues. Blue and pink convey
a dreamy yet joyful atmosphere, reminiscent of being tipsy, while emphasizing the sensory and unique vibe of the event. Gray is added to
balance the vibrant colors, lending a sophisticated and composed touch to the overall design.



I created a range of merchandise to suit various situations, ensuring practicality and aesthetic appeal. This collection includes chilling bags to keep drinks cool, stylish glasses for enjoying beverages, convenient wristband tickets for seamless entry, sleek cardholders for easy organization, and personalized name tags for identification. Each item was thoughtfully designed to enhance the overall experience.



The brand photography draws inspiration from the style of Yoshiyuki Okuyama, featuring bright, radiant, and dramatic imagery. Okuyama's work excels at capturing the textures of transparent objects, and this technique enhances the brand's unique sensibility while conveying a trendy and modern image.
