"FORTUNE CORD" – Original Visual Design System
All rights reserved by the author.
1. About the Name "FORTUNE CORD"
"FORTUNE CORD" is the name adopted by Dan Chen (陈丹) since 2025 for her original visual design system. This system uses "a cord threading a coin" as its core language, covering star charts, coin-shaped variations, and topological connection methods. This name is interrelated with the registered Chinese trademark "财绳" (Cai Sheng), both referring to the same creative source and body of work. The term "FORTUNE CORD" is a literal and conceptual translation of the creator's prior Chinese IP "财绳". The visual system is intended for global distribution, including but not limited to China, the US, and EU markets.
