About Seotun Saram Corporate Identity
Seotun Saram is a corporate identity for a service that connects people seeking help with professional counselors. The name refers to someone who is not yet skilled, and the slogan states that everyone starts clumsily. A fairy tale describes the counseling process for people who are unfamiliar with counseling. The story has two characters: Seotun, a wandering counselee, and Gobukki, a slow but reliable counselor. Warm paper texture, lyrical navy blue of the night sky and hand-drawn icons form the visual system. The intent is to present counseling as friendly, warm and safe.

'Seotun' is a counsellee who lost and wandering. 'Gobukki' is a slow but reliable counselor who accompanies him to the end.

- Research
- There are two weaknesses in Korea's psychological counseling infrastructure. One is that anyone who doesn't have the right to run a counseling center, and the other is that the public has a negative perception of counseling. Although many people complain of psychological pain, policy is still incomplete and awareness is low. We wanted to introduce people to qualified psych consultancy centers to help customers receive professional counseling services in a more secure environment.
- Inspiration
- Seotun-saram is a service that connects a counselee with a professional counselor. In Korea, there is no right regulation on psychological counseling, so bad people can open counseling centers with certifications which are easy to obtain. With these problems persisted, people suffered from them, and perception of counseling became bad. We wanted people to get good counseling service through this and hoped their life to be warmer.
