This zodiac visual system serves as a modern reinterpretation of traditional Chinese Shadow Puppetry. By stripping away redundant colors and ornate decorations, the design isolates the most recognizable silhouette profiles of the twelve animals. Through a network of interweaving lines reminiscent of the jointed construction found in shadow puppets—it establishes a rigorous modular graphic logic. This approach bridges the gap between ancient folk art and a systematic, contemporary visual identity.

Inspired by the silhouette of the ancient Chinese command tablet—a historic symbol of authority and identity—this hang tag transcends traditional packaging through a ritualistic interaction. The core of the design lies in the act of unveiling: as the user peels away the back label, a hidden zodiac totem is revealed. Each icon is strictly synchronized with the specific year of production, stripping away the decorative excess of folklore to reframe the zodiac through a modern, modular visual language. This concealed narrative transforms the hang tag from a disposable artifact into a collectible "time footnote," embedding the brand’s memory within a restrained, contemporary form.
