The logo includes a mountain in the shape of an "M", inspired by the vineyard's surrounding landscape and the winery's name "Mystic Island". Its design takes the form of a maze, overlooking the vineyard and its neighbouring reservoir.
The overall design integrates the landform characteristics of the vineyard and Chinese artistic features.
The wine label graphic is a combination of a masquerade mask and a magpie with a hidden " M " at the center. The masquerade mask pays homage of folklore and Qiushan Valley's distinct history. Magpies are commonly found in the area. Throughout the winery's establishment, magpies protected the vineyard, winery and villa, bringing warmth, love and joy. The two designs, used for the red and white wines respectively are reflections of one another signifying unity and togetherness.
