Located in the Xingkai Lake Ecological Zone, HuShui takes pride in cultivating rice nourished by the area's unique geographical advantages and pristine nature, ensuring every grain of HuShui rice is of exceptional quality. For the first time, the brand emphasizes pure, natural water as the foundation of its competitive edge, reimagining its identity through distinctive visual elements. The goal is to carve out a unique path in the crowded rice market.
To highlight the concept of "irrigated by water from a nationally recognized 4A-level scenic area", HuShui has crafted a powerful slogan: Bountiful Waters, Golden Paddy. This phrase not only ties seamlessly with the brand name (HuShui, meaning "lake water" in English) but also embeds the connection between pristine water and premium rice into consumers' minds. The HuShui logo embraces vibrant warm tones like red, orange, and yellow, and further incorporates elements of ripples, the sun, and the brand name to reinforce HuSui's connection to nature. This approach also forges a highly recognizable visual identity, leaving a lasting impression on consumers.
Additionally, HuShui introduces its innovative packaging that highlights the product's key qualities through symbolic visual elements. The transparent glass jar reflects the crystal-clear water of the Xingkai Lake, while the pattern evokes the lake's rippling surface, adding a sense of purity and transparency to the overall design. To further elevate its visual appeal, the packaging features a split-complementary color scheme, contrasting light blue with vivid red. This striking combination effectively communicates the product's purity and high quality, ensuring the brand stands out in the crowded market with its distinctive aesthetic.
