Max Li
Max Li is a Shanghai- and London-based graphic designer whose work spans and often bridges diverse design disciplines, including graphic design, creative coding, and 3D rendering.

Max's design practice is rooted in his fascination with systems: systems of symbols, identity, and, in a recursive sense, systems within systems. He believes that a container or medium is as significant, if not more so, than the content it holds. For Max, graphic design is a means to craft visual containers that convey narratives across varied contexts.

天瓴文化 Skypeak Culture is a film and television production company based in Xiamen, China. It is dedicated to discovering high-quality intellectual properties from around the world and operating as a full-spectrum film and television cultural company. The brand name "Skypeak" originates from the Chinese idiom "高屋建瓴", meaning to pour water from a bottle on a high rooftop.

The visual identity of Skypeak Culture is simple: an abtract depiction of a bottle pouring liquid from above. Depending on the medium and content, the triangular part of the logomark can dynamically or statically vary in size, proportion, and the type of information it conveys, symbolizing Skypeak Culture's inclusiveness and influence.
