Every Chinese New Year, small red envelopes are presented to the young and unmarried with a little bit of money. The color red symbolizes luck and the practice of giving a red envelope (or “Lycee” in Cantonese) is a blessing for the new year and to ward off evil spirits.

The designs vary from traditional imagery (Chinese characters, old paintings, plants, dragons, various animals) to modern cartoons. Metallic gold ink is normally incorporated into the print as a sign of prosperity.

Chinese New Year: Burning Spirit Papers

In the Chinese Taoist tradition, spirit papers (designs symbolizing good will, wealth and material objects) are burned for the ancestors and gods to be used in the spirit world and afterlife. This practice is similar to the tradition of the Ancient Egyptians, who buried objects (and other living souls) with the deceased to travel with them to the afterlife. Burning spirit papers is done primarily around the Lunar New Year, as a homage to the past.

Teaser Site for Online Game

Promo Shirts for PUP Game

These fun designs were created for the online game, Unicorn Parade, from San Franciscan company, Ohai. The concept for the teaser site background was inspired by the film “Where the Wild Things Are”, where the color scheme and storm clouds have a slight melancholy atmosphere. The juxtaposition of sadness and happiness reflects the sarcasm of the game and characters. Keep your eyes peeled for the official game launch! :)
