As possibly the largest hackathon ever held in China, AdventureX is deeply rooted in the local landscape, committed to amplifying the power of youth-driven technological creativity. In July 2024, 200 young innovators emerged from over a thousand applicants. In just five days, they not only launched over 50 promising projects, but also continuously redefined what it means to “create”.
The visual inspiration of AdventureX 2025 comes from the picture of meteor fragments splashed by SpaceX rockets, symbolizing the afterglow of exploration and the continuation of innovation. In the deep picture like the universe, countless high-speed light spots pass through the night sky, symbolizing teenagers from different backgrounds and skills - they meet briefly like meteors, but in a limited time they collide, burst, create, and light up the direction of the future.
Besign has designed a visual guidance system for all participants for AdventureX. The system uses high-saturation color blocks to mark the reachable space, and uses 3D modeling maps to assist information transmission. While giving priority to function, taking into account the visual aesthetics, the signboard adopts high-contrast typesetting, auxiliary color point navigation, icons to strengthen spatial semantics, and greatly improves the efficiency of path recognition and the speed of action decision-making through distance and estimated time prompts.
Continuing the Dune-style font tradition in 2024, Besign designed a new brand typeface Orbix, named after the Latin orbis, which means ring, orbit and universe. This minimalist science fiction style font adopts a softer curvature and geometric structure, integrating modern and future languages, echoing the scientific and technological ideals and the spirit of unknown exploration carried by the key visual. Orbix has been officially open sourced to GitHub before the AdventureX 2025 event, and logged in to Besign Foundry, providing free-to-use and expandable text expression tools for young designers and developers around the world.
