The Story of CiongZo and Taiwanese

The CiongZo crew loves listening to Taiwanese songs, watching Taiwanese-language films, and exploring Taiwanese humor (tshiò-khue). Not simply because Taiwanese is our language, but because it embodies an irreplaceable part of the Taiwanese spirit and voice.

Since 2012, we have combined Taiwanese words and phrases with playful imagery, creating designs that let people express every emotion—from joy and anger to sorrow and laughter.

Our collaborations have included renowned calligrapher Chen Shih-Hsien, as well as a series of designs inspired by American aesthetics and Taiwanese sensibilities, opening up even more possibilities for expressing the Taiwanese language.
