“to reveal the value of a brand’s visual identity system and to reveal the brands’ iconic assets.”
Earlier this spring, Yunke started a brand project which he titled #Brandingblocks on Instagram. In this project, he uses renderings to extract the value of visual identities from 100 brands, then apply them to an identical format: isometric cubes.
The purpose of this BrandingBlocks is to reveal the value of a brand’s visual identity system, and to reveal the brands’ iconic assets in a visually appealing and consistent form.
Yunke has not picked out the various brands randomly, as the 100 brands used for BrandingBlocks will mainly be selected from Interbrand’s Best Global Brands Ranking 2018.
