The Challenge

Jasmine soda needs to feel like what it tastes like — fresh, light, oriental. Most bottled drinks either go hyper-modern (clean glass, minimal type) or hyper-traditional (Chinese calligraphy, lotus leaves). We wanted something in between: modern enough for Gen Z, rooted enough to feel oriental.

The Approach

We created a character: a jasmine flower with a face and a body, playing a small flute. It's not a logo. It's not an illustration. It's a little person living inside the bottle — calm, natural, fresh.

The color is green. Not one green — a range of greens from the bottle to the background. It makes the drink look like it comes from a garden.

Visual System

Illustration

The jasmine flower character has:

  • A large white jasmine bloom as a head, with a smiling face
  • A simple body wearing a traditional-style outfit
  • Playing a small flute-like instrument
  • Surrounded by jasmine leaves, small flowers, and stylized cloud/wave patterns

The style is flat illustration with clean outlines — modern but with oriental detail in the patterns.

Typography

"maiien" in a handwritten, slightly rounded script. It feels natural, like handwriting on a tea cup. Below it: "JASMINE SCENTED SODA WATER DRINK" in clean sans-serif.

Color

  • Bottle: Clear, transparent, light green tint
  • Cap: Solid green
  • Label: White base with green illustration
  • Brand color: Fresh grass green

The whole system is green — from the bottle glass to the cap to the background in photography. It reads as "fresh" before you read the label.

Information

  • 500ml / 16.9 FL OZ
  • 0 sugar calories
  • "Oriental flavor" tagline
  • Nutrition facts and barcode on the side

Why It Works

  • Flavor communication: The jasmine character tells you what's inside without showing a literal photo
  • Freshness: The green palette makes the drink feel cold and clean
  • Personality: The flower character gives the brand a face — calm, gentle, a little dreamy
  • Oriental root: The cloud/wave patterns and the character's outfit nod to Asian design without leaning on clichés like calligraphy

Brand Identity & Packaging​​​​​​​

Inspired by forest concerts, we use mint green as the base color, embellished with aqua blue, to create a cool visual atmosphere. The core of the illustration is an anthropomorphic jasmine flower playing the saxophone in the forest. The melody is visualized as crystal water droplets dancing among the leaves. Through a multi-sensory narrative approach, the flavor of soda water is associated with an immersive and refreshing experience, bringing consumers into a refreshing summer forest concert, delivering a fresh and cool feeling in the hot summer and enhancing consumers' purchasing desire.
