Despite the vast and growing body of literature on brand naming, most theories and principles were developed in Western markets and based on Western languages, and therefore have limited application in a Chinese-speaking context. Building on the psychogeometric theory, this study systematically examined the role of non-accidental visual-spatial properties of ‘symmetry’ and ‘closure’ in Chinese brand names. A content analysis of 15,065 newly registered Chinese brands was first conducted to reveal the pattern of visual spatial properties in Chinese brand names. This is followed by a survey study of 760 non-Chinese speaking participants about their perceptions of the visual spatial properties of the Chinese brand names. It was found that Chinese brand names utilized a high proportion of symmetry but a low proportion of closure, with their distributions varying significantly across product categories. The survey results further indicate that Chinese brand names possessing these two visual properties triggered specific esthetic associations and were believed to be more appropriate for certain product categories. These findings are useful for new brands seeking visual-spatial cues with which to positively influence consumers’ perceptual processing and judgments.
