Bai Long translates to White Dragon - its name laying the foundation for the conceptual direction taken for the project. Rather than pursuing the idea of a white dragon literally, we proposed the notion of an invisible dragon and by extension, working to perceive the store as the dragon itself.

A custom set of Chinese Characters were designed and cut from acrylic with a sand-painted finish for the store's internal signage.

The characters complement the logotype and share prompts with native-speaking guests who visit the space.
