视觉设计背后的底层逻辑

The Thinking Behind the Visual Identity

Kanae かなえ是一家以日式泡芙为特色的甜品品牌。品牌的名字源于创始人在日本游学期间的感悟,承载着她对幸福、希望与美好生活的理解。

在创始人的心中,每一份甜品都像一颗小小的种子,希望能将纯粹、简单的快乐种在每一位顾客心里,让这份幸福慢慢生根发芽,最终长出茂密的枝叶。这份充满童真与想象力的品牌理念,也为我们的视觉创作提供了丰富的灵感。

在与客户深入沟通后,我们逐渐明确了品牌的核心方向:童趣、温暖、治愈,同时保留日式美学特有的细腻与克制。 我们希望 Kanae 不只是一家售卖甜品的店铺,更是一个能够传递快乐、唤起美好情绪的小小世界。

Kanae is a Japanese-inspired cream puff brand built around a simple idea: spreading happiness through desserts. Inspired by the founder’s time studying in Japan, the name represents hope, growth, and the joy of making wishes come true.

The founder envisioned each dessert as a little seed of happiness, bringing a sense of childlike wonder to every customer and allowing that joy to grow over time. This heartfelt story became the inspiration behind our creative direction.

Through close collaboration with the founder, we developed a visual identity that feels playful, warm, and comforting, with a touch of Japanese-inspired simplicity.


围绕这一理念,我们以大量原创手绘插画、自然灵动的手写字体,以及明快柔和的色彩,构建出一套充满个性与亲和力的品牌视觉系统。插画中的植物、枝叶与趣味元素,呼应了品牌名字背后的成长寓意,也让整个视觉语言更具故事性与延展空间。

在设计过程中,我们尤其注重童趣与成熟感之间的平衡。可爱不意味着幼稚,活泼也不等于杂乱。通过简洁的版式、舒适的留白与精心控制的色彩搭配,让品牌在保持轻松、俏皮氛围的同时,依然呈现出精致而富有审美品位的视觉质感。

Hand-drawn illustrations, expressive handwritten typography, and a cheerful colour palette bring the brand to life. Playful botanical elements reflect the idea of growth, while thoughtful layouts and generous white space keep the overall look clean and refined.

Our goal was to strike the right balance between playful and sophisticated. Rather than creating something overly childish, we wanted a brand that feels charming, inviting, and full of personality.

从品牌标识、产品包装到店内物料与宣传设计,每一个细节都延续着这份轻盈而温暖的品牌气质,让视觉与甜品本身自然融合,共同营造出令人愉悦的消费体验。

我们希望 Kanae 的设计就像它的甜品一样,简单、温柔,带着一点恰到好处的童趣,让每一位走进店里的顾客,都能收获一份小小的幸福。

From the logo and packaging to in-store graphics and promotional materials, every element works together to create a cohesive and delightful brand experience.

Just like its desserts, Kanae's visual identity is designed to bring a little sweetness, warmth, and happiness into everyday life.
