CHIN YUAN METAL

Established in 1979, Chin Yuan Metal started in Singapore as a small trading company. Over the years, they invested heavily in people, equipment, and technology and grew to become a leading manufacturer and stockist of bolting, and pipe, tunnel, and rail accessories, as well as a specialist builder of structural steelworks.

The Challenge

As the second generation took over the business, they sought to upgrade their brand image to be synonymous with market trends. Chin Yuan needed a new identity, a logo, a brochure, and a sales kit for their sales team to perform better in the modern world.

Our Solution

We created a simple and timeless logo for the client using few strokes, to denote the 3 lines in a screw to symbolise the heritage of their original business in nuts and bolts and came up with a strong tagline that concisely said what the company was about: Structurally Sound, Continuously Committed. In this tagline, we played on the pun of using Chin Yuan’s hardware to entrench in the minds of customers that its products are safe for the structures they build, as well as the strength of the company having been around for their customers throughout the years.

To prevent it from being a boring hardware catalogue, for the product photoshoot, we engaged a young and passionate photographer. He then created “smiles” and “personalities” in the product placements for the shoot. His efforts paid off as the catalogue was designed with curves and colours to complement his photos.
