The first concept is inspired by traditional Chinese cultural expressions, such as calligraphy, seals and ink paintings. When Chinese tourists come to speak English-speaking countries, Chinese characters are the most satisfying and familiar to them. “Chinese calligraphy” as a traditional Chinese traditional art, has been circulating so far. At the same time seal is also an indispensable part of Chinese calligraphy, usually used in the composition of the calligraphy works, representing the authorization, certification, is a personal or official symbol, with Accor logo seal to the French territory as a profile, in the description of the brand Background at the same time, but also a symbol of commitments of the high standards of customer service.

Therefore, the Chinese font in the program is unique, with a high degree of recognition, but also gives the proposal of high artistic value and cultural heritage.

Use a combination of locks and clouds pattern as a “wild goose” in the background, which was integrated, like Accor geese flew over the land of China, it means that Accor businesses point to the Chinese market; the entire Logo looks like a traditional Chinese painting, meaning the “return of migratory birds”, which bring the home style to Chinese customers.

The picture of Chinese mythology inspires the third concept. The design concept is to express the ‘journey’ concept with geese. Clouds surround the geese in the logo formed a depth space and painted a picture of geese is traveling. The geese have the meaning of returning home in China, metaphor Accor brings high professional services and high standards of facilities to the Chinese travelers in Australia and make them feel “home away from home,” as well as the comfortable and warm experience, which make Accor the first choice for the Chinese travelers in Australia.
