BRANDING SYNOPSIS

BRAND SINGAPORE SYNOPSISThe Cultural Semiotics in Nation BrandingThe current Singapore Brand Campaign has not managed to convince Singaporeans living here that the country is a unique and dynamic coun-try, despite the government efforts of promoting Singapore as a “creative city”.

Thus Singapore has become a place where ordinary people don’t see their own contribution or identity, lest being patriotic in the fabric of the city in the way others do for their country.

This project aimed to elevate the presence of Singapore Culture by providing contemporary visual that best describe Singapore and to promote them as a lifestyle so that Singaporean could consume and grow with the brand.

Versatility of the logo were also taken into consideration as Singapore’s diversity means it has many different faces to different people.

LOGO DEVELOPMENTThe Scale of MerlionMerlion has been for many years the symbol of Singapore; the lion head that symbolised the head of the country could be seen in various corporate branding of the government body.

As the target audience of Brand Singapore were the ordinary Singaporean, the scale of the Merlion was used as the graphic element where each scale could represent each Singaporean that then formed up the body of the Merlion.

The choice of “turtle” like scale were chosen as to avoid confusion with the popular fish scale pattern that were often associated with Japanese design.

The geometry like shaped scale where also an alternative design for the Merlion that located at the island of Sentosa.

DISPLAY TYPEFACE: BNSG CONDENSE

TYPEFACE: BNSG CONDENSESkyscraper of Singapore The condensed typeface was inspired by Singapore’s limited land thus the only way for it to expand is going UP.

The reason for choosing Singapore city land-scape as the inspiration was because it would be the first thing that would be viewed by visitors when they travel to a new place.

They were also often being featured on advertisements and therefore could be easily be recognised by tourist and local.
