JingXin International is a food supply company. In September 2022 the studio drew its logo: a gold hexagon — a crystal, for 晶 — above the name 晶鑫国际 in custom lettering, then set it in gold, black and white and put it on the company’s business cards.

01Directions

Four directions,
one mark.

In September 2022 the studio showed JingXin several routes: a faceted hexagon in teal, a knot of interlocking lines, a stack of cubes, and the gold hexagon that was chosen. The hexagon turns up in two of them; the chosen one keeps only its outline, and cuts it open down the middle.

02The mark

A hexagon,
cut open down the middle.

The hexagon splits into two halves that hook into each other around a broken centre line: one outline, drawn as two strokes that never quite meet. The gold runs from pale to deep across it, as if light caught one face of the crystal and not the other.

03Lettering

Four characters,
cut at the same angle.

晶鑫国际 is drawn, not typeset: square counters, stroke ends sliced on the diagonal, and a gap wherever two strokes would touch — the same cuts as the mark. JingXin International sits beneath in a light, open sans.

04Versions

Gold first,
and a version for every ground.

The logo went out in gold, black, white and reversed, as AI, EPS, PDF, PNG and JPEG files, so print and screen each have what they need.

05Business card

Green on the front,
black on the back.

Two formats, landscape and portrait. The front carries only the mark; the back puts the horizontal logo in gold top left and the contact details below — left out here, with fine rules marking where they sit.

Scope
Bilingual logo · Gold, black & white versions · Logo master files · Business cards, landscape & portrait · Logo presentations

Logo, lettering and cards are from the studio’s 2022 archive: the final logo as a vector PDF, the card print files and the logo presentations. The mark and lettering are drawn from the final vector paths without change; the black and white versions recolour the same paths. The cards on this page are re-set in HTML from the print files, and the back leaves out the cardholder’s name and numbers and the Creations By Nature logo that shared the card. The three directions not chosen are taken from the studio’s presentations at the time and were never used.
