It was the most memorable vacation. While having a chance to talk to my uncle about the difficulties in self-learning of an illustrator, I also found out an interesting fact that he is also a “player” who loves to collect and archive what he found around the village for more than 30 years: CD covers since wartime, Vietnamese letter-making guidebook, handcrafted wedding invitations, labels, postcards received from his friends, or even my mom's ex also asked him to keep some of his… He put all those things into a box and handed it back to me, attached with a torn-cover stamp collect book. Those stamps have come a long way with my uncle's youth, dating back from the days when he usually went to the post office to ask for used postal envelopes - a simple pleasure when living in the countryside during the days of war-zone evacuation with the family, the days when there was no electricity."Look closer at these stamps, observe the way those artists portrayed their art, the palette, or their thoughts and concepts during their contemporaneous time. I hope you will find your own joy while exploring them”, he said. <img width="2800" height="1415" width_o="2800" height_o="1415" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7003184f38d98d393b1b38f0b15b6ef87ec0f583602dce7efcf2c3cecf70749a/luongdoo-buuhoavietnam-archived-04.jpg" data-mid="178693476" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7003184f38d98d393b1b38f0b15b6ef87ec0f583602dce7efcf2c3cecf70749a/luongdoo-buuhoavietnam-archived-04.jpg" /> After two years, I created a site called ‘Bưu Hoa Việt Nam’ to share the stamps that I have found along with the story behind or related to each stamp. “One or two stamps go hand in hand, affixed to the envelope like a guardian of the letter inside, it is a greeting between members of a family that was temporarily separated, a word of encouragement for an unfinished love affair, or even a congratulatory message for college admission.”- 🌸🌿 See more at: www.instagram.com/Buuhoavietnam <img width="1546" height="1546" width_o="1546" height_o="1546" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/01a5429e3b35b10d5c640f1d1bc2f3ab07331a7bc6d9406f3995790921c6a70e/luongdoo-buuhoavietnam-archived-00.jpg" data-mid="178693629" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/01a5429e3b35b10d5c640f1d1bc2f3ab07331a7bc6d9406f3995790921c6a70e/luongdoo-buuhoavietnam-archived-00.jpg" /><img width="1446" height="1446" width_o="1446" height_o="1446" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/45b2008d032a8d24cda3e0d8e3834df2d385ae651e70afbe69ddfafef141ea28/luongdoo-buuhoavietnam-archived-01.jpeg" data-mid="178693363" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/45b2008d032a8d24cda3e0d8e3834df2d385ae651e70afbe69ddfafef141ea28/luongdoo-buuhoavietnam-archived-01.jpeg" /> <img width="1546" height="1546" width_o="1546" height_o="1546" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/04436fdfed1b2e736b21a86d657c6dd291708e66a36499112001877b8efb44f1/luongdoo-buuhoavietnam-archived-08.jpg" data-mid="178693758" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/04436fdfed1b2e736b21a86d657c6dd291708e66a36499112001877b8efb44f1/luongdoo-buuhoavietnam-archived-08.jpg" /><img width="1546" height="1546" width_o="1546" height_o="1546" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dbd2d89564c7b9212ff74a3ce9b3a9379835d067585b687515ae4a14baa113cc/luongdoo-buuhoavietnam-archived-06.jpg" data-mid="178693635" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dbd2d89564c7b9212ff74a3ce9b3a9379835d067585b687515ae4a14baa113cc/luongdoo-buuhoavietnam-archived-06.jpg" /> <img width="2272" height="1525" width_o="2272" height_o="1525" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cf5158f7890f489cb96cafecf9ebd76d3479443a4f9c659c28382e9a3d8811f9/luongdoo-buuhoavietnam-archived-01.jpg" data-mid="178693631" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cf5158f7890f489cb96cafecf9ebd76d3479443a4f9c659c28382e9a3d8811f9/luongdoo-buuhoavietnam-archived-01.jpg" /> https://luongdoo.com/The-Meeting-In-The-Sky Mon, 23 Jun 2025 11:03:07 +0000 luongdoo https://luongdoo.com/The-Meeting-In-The-Sky <img width="4075" height="2717" width_o="4075" height_o="2717" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d428298f8a8751b14ec3b730af1a46e1f2a359765f4c3625956ce44059b0c622/luongdoo-the-meeting-in-the-sky-exhibition-01.jpg" data-mid="234887252" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d428298f8a8751b14ec3b730af1a46e1f2a359765f4c3625956ce44059b0c622/luongdoo-the-meeting-in-the-sky-exhibition-01.jpg" /> <img width="2047" height="3502" width_o="2047" height_o="3502" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fa9363b7fd4a5449535a69ef43cc1bfd6250ca6ead7ecfc05100b7cf578aa0eb/luongdoo-cinnamon-life-kites-4.png" data-mid="251475659" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fa9363b7fd4a5449535a69ef43cc1bfd6250ca6ead7ecfc05100b7cf578aa0eb/luongdoo-cinnamon-life-kites-4.png" /> The Meeting In The Sky Kite Illustrations From fishing cats to rare birds, I illustrated 69 animal species — each one reimagined as a kite, designed to be seen from the sky. These formed the foundation of a visual system, which traditional Sri Lankan kite artisans then transformed into over 2,000 handcrafted kites. Every form was designed with clarity and charm in mind. Sometimes, all it took was a single dot to bring a creature to life. Each kite was carefully colored to remain legible in flight, visible through translucent paper and sunlight. I worked closely with my creative director, Kumkum Fernando, to develop the full illustration system for this project.

These formed the foundation of a visual system, which traditional Sri Lankan kite artisans then transformed into over 2,000 handcrafted kites. Every form was designed with clarity and charm in mind. Sometimes, all it took was a single dot to bring a creature to life. Each kite was carefully colored to remain legible in flight, visible through translucent paper and sunlight. I worked closely with my creative director, Kumkum Fernando, to develop the full illustration system for this project.

Một trong những nguyện vọng khi đó là làm sao tôn vinh được các món ăn địa phương khắp Việt Nam lên bao bì lon. Để chiếc lon ấy ít nhiều được đồng hành cùng bạn bè, gia đình trong những khoảnh khắc ăn uống, như một người bạn quen thuộc ở quầy nước giải khát, hay nép mình trong cửa tủ tạp hoá gần nhà.Giai đoạn chập chững triển khai có lẽ là lúc khó nhất với bao thắc mắc lởn vởn trong đầu: “Liệu hình ảnh thể hiện ra có chạm đúng cảm nhận của người xem không? Món này thường ăn kèm với gì? Cái tô, cái chén đựng món này có gì đặc biệt?”. Thế là xách xe đi ăn, vừa no cái bụng mà hình dung cũng rõ ràng hơn ít nhiều.Không nhớ rõ cụ thể là khi nào, có lần sếp hỏi mình như một lời gợi ý: “Ê quê của mày ở đâu Đức? Huế! Huế mày thường thích ăn gì? Bún bò? Vậy hãy vẽ thử một tô bún bò mà mày cảm giác được về nơi ấy xem.” Đó chính là điểm khởi đầu cho suốt hành trình khởi tạo nên những thiết kế sau này.Làm dự án cực không? Cực, mà cũng thấy thích. Vì thích nên tìm cách để hông thấy cực. Tình cảm dành cho công việc có lẽ lớn lên từ những đêm muộn hay những buổi sáng sớm anh em sếp lính gặp nhau. Nhớ nhất kỷ niệm lâu lâu, gặp nhau ở quán, sếp vừa nhấp ngụm bia, tay vừa gõ cọc cọc ý tưởng trên laptop rồi tự nhiên cười sảng khoái. Tụi mình làm việc cật lực không hẳn vì áp lực deadline, mà chắc vì tình yêu, tự bản thân thấy cần cố gắng vì sự tin tưởng và kiên nhẫn mà đội ngũ Pepsi Việt Nam, khu vực và toàn cầu đã giao phó. Mỗi anh em trong team chỉ biết ráng làm tốt nhất phần việc nhỏ của mình, để dự án được thành hình trọn vẹn nhất có thể, và ở lại thật lâu với mọi người. A year ago, we at Ki Saigon started the Pepsi Meal project with a simple dream. We really wanted to find a way to honor local dishes from all over Vietnam on the cans. We hoped that can would be like a familiar friend during meals with family and friends, or just sitting quietly on a shelf in a small neighborhood grocery store.The early days were probably the hardest, with so many questions in our heads: "Will people really feel it when they see this? What is usually served with this dish? Is there anything special about the bowl or the plate?" So we just hopped on our bikes and went out to eat. Our bellies were full, and the ideas started to get a bit clearer.I don’t remember exactly when it was, but my boss once asked me: "Hey Duc, where is your hometown? Hue! What do you usually like to eat there? Bun Bo? Then try drawing a bowl of Bun Bo that feels like home to you." That was the starting point for everything we designed later on.Was it hard? Yes, it was. But we loved it. And because we loved it, we found ways to make it feel less like a struggle. Our love for the work grew through the late nights and early mornings we spent together. I remember times at a local spot, my boss would take a sip of beer while typing away on his laptop and then suddenly just laugh out loud. We didn’t work that hard just because of deadlines. We did it because of love, and because we wanted to honor the trust and patience that the Pepsi teams gave us. Each of us just tried to do our small part as best as we could, so the project could come to life and stay with everyone for a long time.Peace love and gratude 🇻🇳✨🔥 Related Article: Salary.

Designed to feel rare by design, the Pepsi Gold Can could only be received by purchasing two cases from the Pepsi, 7UP, or Mirinda range. The idea turned a familiar New Year promotion into a moment of discovery. Not something you picked up, but something you had to find before it disappeared. This 15-second film brings that idea to life, with the Gold Can at the center of the story. A seasonal reward, created to be found at the right moment. <img width="3210" height="1798" width_o="3210" height_o="1798" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8fffb0faf42c33864c33d8b2879efab36f88756aa92e69a5cd9524b3dc4118f3/luongdoo-pepsi-gold-can-04.png" data-mid="242204871" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8fffb0faf42c33864c33d8b2879efab36f88756aa92e69a5cd9524b3dc4118f3/luongdoo-pepsi-gold-can-04.png" /> Credits Agency: Ki Saigon Client: Pepsi Vietnam Production House: May Production CGI &amp; Animation Studio: Juice Lead Designer &amp; Can Illustration: Luongdoo Designers: Huynh, Van Copywriter: Nhi Account Team: Thuy Ho, Uyen Trinh Social Team: Oanh, Minh Quan, Hong LinhMedia Team: Pepsi Vietnam, Ben Huynh, Thuy Trang (Publicis) https://luongdoo.com/Sting-Energy-The-Scorpion-Mascot Tue, 11 Aug 2026 07:49:42 +0000 luongdoo https://luongdoo.com/Sting-Energy-The-Scorpion-Mascot <img width="6510" height="2416" width_o="6510" height_o="2416" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9c6df18b07d94bd7bbb75a056bbea90e053424cda5ddb361457f0a351dc9c575/luongdoo-sting-scorpion-01.jpg" data-mid="251141286" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9c6df18b07d94bd7bbb75a056bbea90e053424cda5ddb361457f0a351dc9c575/luongdoo-sting-scorpion-01.jpg" /> Sting Energy The Scorpion Mascot 2025 marked a bold new chapter for Sting Energy with the launch of the "Sting Thế Hệ Mới - Dám Nghĩ Dám Làm" (New Generation - Dare to Think, Dare to Do) campaign. The visual centerpiece of this brand evolution was the debut of Sting’s new official brand mascot: The Scorpion. My Role &amp; Creative Process Operating as the Lead Art Director on this project, our collective objective was to craft a character that radiated raw energy and a fearless attitude, balanced with a playful, cheeky personality tailored for a Gen Z audience. To ensure the vision remained pure, we took a highly collaborative approach during the foundational phase. While I spearheaded the initial 3D character development and renders, our team worked seamlessly to facilitate communication and align with the Sting Global and Regional teams on the core anatomy and artistic direction. Once the foundation was locked in, we navigated the final 3D refinement process together. I closely supervised the structural and textural polish to achieve the final asset, supported by our team's continuous coordination to integrate all strategic feedback. The Scorpion was subsequently rolled out across all major touchpoints, from hero social assets to TVC films, and is now slated for expansion into global markets. The creative copyright of the Scorpion belongs to Luongdoo, officially signed with PepsiCo Vietnam. <img width="2572" height="2213" width_o="2572" height_o="2213" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d9c69d056027e7d53cd0cb07ab7c16d879d48c22c90352762edeac57ee96db4e/luongdoo-sting-scorpion-04.jpg" data-mid="251141323" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d9c69d056027e7d53cd0cb07ab7c16d879d48c22c90352762edeac57ee96db4e/luongdoo-sting-scorpion-04.jpg" /> <img width="4096" height="3088" width_o="4096" height_o="3088" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e8c737d79a5f17c786c693f9b41ddbc464d13bcf1fab5dba65a4289f2bdce618/luongdoo-sting-scorpion-02.jpg" data-mid="251141322" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e8c737d79a5f17c786c693f9b41ddbc464d13bcf1fab5dba65a4289f2bdce618/luongdoo-sting-scorpion-02.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fb4ce2eeb162378396f8f44eb14fe78f5189606430beb30bb488201d52877ad9/YTDown.com_YouTube_SIEU-PHAM-STING-THE-HE-MOI-DO-BO-CON-LOC_Media_U_C6BBappc8_001_1080p-online-video-cutter.com.gif" data-mid="251141433" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fb4ce2eeb162378396f8f44eb14fe78f5189606430beb30bb488201d52877ad9/YTDown.com_YouTube_SIEU-PHAM-STING-THE-HE-MOI-DO-BO-CON-LOC_Media_U_C6BBappc8_001_1080p-online-video-cutter.com.gif" /> <img width="4952" height="3123" width_o="4952" height_o="3123" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9d8e9ff5e7190b08b2f748563a3ab182f7730ea23a4bb1128f68e2b84c6b9416/luongdoo-sting-scorpion-05.jpg" data-mid="251141324" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9d8e9ff5e7190b08b2f748563a3ab182f7730ea23a4bb1128f68e2b84c6b9416/luongdoo-sting-scorpion-05.jpg" /> Main Credits Client: Suntory Pepsi Vietnam / Sting Energy Vietnam Agency: Ki Saigon Strategy Director: Indraneel Guha Creative Director: Chung Hoang Lead Designer / Art Director: Duc Luong (Luongdoo) Account Director: Aiden Do Account Member: Tho Do Copywriter: Bao Diep, Ranni Tran Designer for Scorpion: Huynh Nguyen Designers for Campaign Assets: Huynh Nguyen, Ngoc Van, Hong To, Berit, Nam Thien, Uyen Nguyen, Ngan Nguyen, Han Truong, Khanh Linh Social Manager: Oanh Truong Social Executive: Quoc Truong https://luongdoo.com/Pray-with-Pepsi Wed, 08 Apr 2026 14:06:12 +0000 luongdoo https://luongdoo.com/Pray-with-Pepsi <img width="5908" height="3685" width_o="5908" height_o="3685" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6389367e2ed1f206e3adf47738ea912147b682357d9a8901f1aadbd3ad75d16c/luongdoo-pepsi-mini-gold-can-01.jpg" data-mid="246974230" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6389367e2ed1f206e3adf47738ea912147b682357d9a8901f1aadbd3ad75d16c/luongdoo-pepsi-mini-gold-can-01.jpg" /> Pray with PepsiThe Golden Can That Conquered the Tet Altar The Scenario One of the most significant rituals of Tet (Lunar New Year) is ancestor worship. Every home in Vietnam meticulously decorates its altar with offerings, including beverages, to show respect to elders. While Tet accounts for 60% of annual cola sales, Pepsi historically had no place on the altar. The space was dominated by Coke, as traditional belief dictates that "Red" is the ultimate lucky color for the new year. Pepsi, with its iconic blue packaging, simply didn't make the cut for this sacred space. The core vision for this project was clear but highly ambitious: we needed to re-invent the Pepsi can to make it truly worthy of the Vietnamese ancestral altar during Tet. As a designer, I saw this as a profound cultural and visual challenge. The Design Narrative Based on the strategic brief, we completely redesigned the can to address two key insights. Firstly, GOLD beats RED for Tet. Gold is seen as more premium, prosperous, and worthy to present to the elders. But we also had to fix another problem: the size. Knowing that people usually prefer smaller cans that can easily fit and be stacked within limited altar spaces, the solution was the Pepsi Mini Gold Can. With the form and color established, my focus shifted to the packaging artwork. The details needed to resonate deeply with local traditions. At the center is the Pepsi mark, acting almost like a pulse, with energy spreading outward through firework-inspired patterns. On both sides, “Tài” and “Lộc” are placed directly on the body. In Vietnam, these words are often used at the start of the year, as a wish for wealth and good fortune. When it came to bringing this aesthetic to life in our campaign visuals, keeping things close to real life in Vietnam was important. The visuals were developed together with a young photographer, Thuat Vo, grounding the art direction in the familiar, authentic scenes we see in everyday homes and streets.

It shows up in a quieter way. Not something you go out to buy, but something you might come across in the middle of preparing for Tết. The speedometer is a very familiar image in Vietnam, something people see almost every day without really thinking about it. It carries a natural sense of rhythm and movement, which felt closely connected to the idea of Pepsi’s pulse, so it became the starting point for the design. I wanted the visual to come from something real and close to how people actually live, not an abstract reference, but a shared everyday detail. For me, it’s meaningful that this can is built from that kind of observation, and in a way, represents something made for Vietnamese people from within their own daily experience. <img width="5839" height="3893" width_o="5839" height_o="3893" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e6e8067b63fb944182e88e30ff8f68592b2bc6632b46397fdeccc741b708f17c/luongdoo-pepsi-gold-can-4.jpg" data-mid="246974843" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e6e8067b63fb944182e88e30ff8f68592b2bc6632b46397fdeccc741b708f17c/luongdoo-pepsi-gold-can-4.jpg" /> The gold finish connects to the visual culture of Tet in Vietnam, where gold often represents prosperity and celebration. <img width="2236" height="2795" width_o="2236" height_o="2795" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8e943ef2808d54ba0d6f6bf8dbac85745153541f964d6b9ae3a19563ebdef0d9/luongdoo-pepsi-gold-can-3.jpg" data-mid="246974842" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8e943ef2808d54ba0d6f6bf8dbac85745153541f964d6b9ae3a19563ebdef0d9/luongdoo-pepsi-gold-can-3.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2be263df902899c35426e06107270c7f2e6455bdc7dcd47172dc863a8907ba4f/luongdoo-pepsi-gold-can-2.jpg" data-mid="246974845" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2be263df902899c35426e06107270c7f2e6455bdc7dcd47172dc863a8907ba4f/luongdoo-pepsi-gold-can-2.jpg" /> Main Credits Agency: Ki Saigon Client: Pepsi Vietnam Strategy Planner (Campaign): Indraneel Guha Associate Creative Director (Campaign): Chung HoangAccount Team: Thuy Ho, Uyen Trinh Art Director &amp; Illustrator: LuongdooMedia Team: Pepsi Vietnam, Ben Huynh, Thuy Trang (Publicis)Social Team: Oanh, Minh Quan, Hong Linh Photography: Thuat Vo Year: 2026 https://luongdoo.com/Pepsi-Northern-Limited-Edition-Carton-2026 Wed, 08 Apr 2026 15:40:50 +0000 luongdoo https://luongdoo.com/Pepsi-Northern-Limited-Edition-Carton-2026 <img width="5526" height="3684" width_o="5526" height_o="3684" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3b801354f8018301464336eb68eba43f458eb6cd133a77acea21ce0498a6906f/luongdoo-pepsi-packaging-2026-01.jpg" data-mid="246972320" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3b801354f8018301464336eb68eba43f458eb6cd133a77acea21ce0498a6906f/luongdoo-pepsi-packaging-2026-01.jpg" /> Pepsi – Northern Limited Edition Carton (2026) After working on the mini gold can, this box was a continuation. Designed for the Northern market right after Tet, it follows the festival season when people visit temples, make offerings, and pray for a smooth and prosperous year. A familiar rhythm in the North. The box was treated like a festive object. The Pepsi mark sits at the center like a pulse, with firework patterns spreading outward. <img width="5681" height="3932" width_o="5681" height_o="3932" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1da401ec3729eb212f62dee8b84dae3ebc7b8af47063d8c0f9b503fa26c85a7a/luongdoo-pepsi-packaging-2026-03.jpg" data-mid="246972326" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1da401ec3729eb212f62dee8b84dae3ebc7b8af47063d8c0f9b503fa26c85a7a/luongdoo-pepsi-packaging-2026-03.jpg" /> <img width="2565" height="3206" width_o="2565" height_o="3206" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0896ba523168861d5dbc6291dce7a699e45a7e154026f67b78a1fa80f90af490/luongdoo-pepsi-packaging-2026-06-copy.jpg" data-mid="246972322" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0896ba523168861d5dbc6291dce7a699e45a7e154026f67b78a1fa80f90af490/luongdoo-pepsi-packaging-2026-06-copy.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e590243e44f5555b3f6f0e6958a0c39aa9cc20c491e109f1aae64cf669fe5ed0/luongdoo-pepsi-packaging-2026-04.jpg" data-mid="246972325" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e590243e44f5555b3f6f0e6958a0c39aa9cc20c491e109f1aae64cf669fe5ed0/luongdoo-pepsi-packaging-2026-04.jpg" /> This Pepsi box is one of the few remaining pieces I brought nearly 1000km from the North to the South (Saigon, where I live and work) to keep at home.

Kumkum Fernando, one of the individuals behind this project, reached out to me to discuss the project and asked if I would be interested in taking on the role of visual lead for this book. With a team of dedicated staff, we gathered handwritten letters from individuals across the globe, spanning countries such as Australia, Japan, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Mongolia, Israel, Tibet, India, Sri Lanka, America, and Argentina. After scanning them, the letters were meticulously digitized, with each one being translated into English if necessary. In some heartfelt letters, the writers reflect on the past and look forward to the future; in others, they express a desire for peace and express their gratitude for the local environment, including the trees, wildlife, and motherland. In the final stage, I was tasked with thoroughly examining each of those letters and carefully considering the illustrations that accompanied them.
