about hou viet pride

HOU Viet Pride is an empowering identity system and campaign encouraging Vietnamese-Houstonians to exercise their right to vote. The campaign offers an engaging kinetic poster, vibrant stickers, and beautifully-crafted folding fan for voters. In its branding identity, HOU Viet Pride uses a range of iconography, color, and both English and Vietnamese language to delicately urge the Vietnamese-Houstonian community to not only vote, but also take pride in both their Vietnamese culture and Houstonian life.

Embracing both Houston and Vietnamese culture in a visual design meant ensuring that the overall identity of HOU Viet Pride would be able to cater to Vietnamese-Houstonians in both the English and Vietnamese languages. As a result, the identity system of the campaign is focused on bold and straightforward typography with accompanying elements. After careful consideration, pursuing iconography alongside the bold typography allowed for each element to be reflective of both Vietnamese and Houstonian culture. These iconographic elements included Vietnam’s national flower: the lotus and Houston’s recognition for space exploration. 

The final touches to the ambience of HOU Viet Pride was to encourage a wider color palette: an encouraging, bright, and colorful campaign system. This color scheme not only strayed from the blue and red pairing commonly used in voting campaigns, but embraced a positive and light nature.
