As the consumer market grows younger, many rising brands are racing ahead. Yanmasuo, a Chengdu-based artisanal gelato chain, has become a local icon. We were commissioned to refresh its brand and design all five stores—Taikoo Li, Yulin, Tongzilin, Luhu, and COSMO.

Its breakout star: Sichuan Pepper Gelato. In this rebrand, the brand renames itself after this hero product.We avoided the typical sweet or elegant Western style. Instead, we aimed for youthful, fashionable, and adventurous—just like the product itself: bold, unpredictable, and full of personality. The visual system draws from the pepper's numbing sensation, translating the physical response—from shock to delight—into a bold visual language. As the slogan says: an amazing bite.


近年来,在消费年轻化的大趋势下,涌现出许多优秀的年轻品牌,它们在各自赛道奋力奔跑,去拿下自己的赛点。

研麻所,一家意式gelato连锁,成为了成都冰淇淋品牌的代表。品牌进入快速发展期,我们接到设计委托,为研麻所进行品牌重塑以及所有门店「太古里店、玉林店、桐梓林店、麓湖店、COSMO店」的空间设计。
研麻所的突围,得益于明星产品「花椒冰淇淋」,产品以新奇刺激的口感和浓郁的四川特色,赢得了广大粉丝的追捧。本次品牌重塑,研麻所正式以pepper gelato「花椒冰淇淋」为品牌名,以明星产品代表品牌而输出。
我们并不希望它像传统冰淇淋品牌一样,甜美可人或西式典雅,我们希望它在年轻时尚的同时,还富有一份冒险精神,就像产品一样,充满了未知与个性。创意原点依旧从明星产品出发,从花椒「麻」的特性,以客户的直接感受为切入点,从惊到喜的身体反馈迅速蔓延至整套视觉。就像品牌的slogan:an amazing bite 「每一口都是惊喜」。
