Overview
HOROS stands at the forefront of refreshing Eastern horoscope practices for a new generation, blending ancient cultural wisdom with modern science. Collaborating closely with HOROS, CDA played a crucial role from the beginning, crafting a comprehensive branding strategy and visual identity that elegantly narrates HOROS' story. Our distinct visual approach seeks to narrate HOROS' singular tale in the spiritual landscape, harmoniously blending its cultural essence with a contemporary twist.

Challenges
Goals
A key challenge in designing for HOROS was finding the right balance between mysticism and scientific elements, leveraging Eastern influences to create a unique identity. Additionally, it was crucial to craft a trustworthy and safe vibe, addressing the concerns of a public often facing personal anxieties.
Our aim was to blend Eastern art and Vietnamese cultural essence with modern flair, creating a design that appeals to Gen Z and shines on social media, while highlighting the product's contemporary relevance and practicality.

When embarking on the design journey for HOROS, we began with a fundamental question: if HOROS were a person, what would their characteristics be? The common perception of Eastern Horoscope often conjures the image of an old, wise sage. Our goal was to blend the wisdom of an old, wise figure with a fresh, contemporary perspective, positioning HOROS as both a discoverer and a guiding light for personal growth and self-realization.
Brand Logo
Inspired by Eastern astrology and traditional artwork, from familiar patterns to the detailed zodiac illustrations, we've refreshed HOROS' logo to make it clearer, more visually appealing, and easier for customers to quickly connect with the brand. The updated typography gives a solid feel, while the falling star design, with its color transition, suggests change and the star's flexible movement, highlighting the mystical side of astrology. Warm, contrasting colors give HOROS a unique and new look, making it stand out in the astrology space.
