Hello, hello everyone, here is a banknote encyclopedia that only talks about the fireworks of banknotes, I am the fireworks.
Winter Olympic banknotes in hand, today I will taste a taste and talk about this pair of Winter Olympic banknotes.
I don't know how many fans and friends have booked this pair of Winter Olympic banknotes, I have booked a total of 30 sets, I can collect so much on it, 200 million to 400 million copies of circulation, it is estimated that there is no appreciation potential. Less than 70% of the online reservation rate, but also unexpected, for a long time without cash, it seems that everyone is not very interested in banknotes. According to what I have learned in various WeChat groups in the past two days, most of them are beautiful numbers, number matching and other information, far more than paying attention to the banknotes themselves. Perhaps playing with numbers is also one of the pleasures of banknote collecting.
Before I got the real money, I had a video that introduced the basic information of the Winter Olympic bills, and everyone can also go to see it.
As a money-down blogger, I'm really not too cold about pretty numbers. From my personal point of view, this pair of Winter Olympic banknotes is much more significant than other commemorative banknotes issued before. I'm not exaggerating it.
Placed within the scope of the world's banknotes, this pair of banknotes is not very good in terms of design and application of anti-counterfeiting characteristics. But from the perspective of the history of China's banknote development, the progress is huge, even breakthrough.
Next, I will talk about the pair of Winter Olympic banknotes in two issues from the aspects of design and anti-counterfeiting. In this issue, let's look at the design section.
Layout structure
In terms of the overall layout structure of the banknote, this pair of Winter Olympic banknotes changed the common horizontal design, and the vertical design of the front and back sides was adopted, and this double-sided vertical vertical layout design was also the first time to be applied to the renminbi, which was an attempt. On the one hand, the straight-format banknote design can broaden the expression of banknote designers. On the other hand, perhaps this design can also attract some people to pay attention to the fading banknotes.
After the banknote adopts the vertical layout design, it is no longer a left and right structure in the layout composition, but an upper and lower structure.
The upper part of the front of the banknote is the main image, occupying a large proportionate area. The second half is an anti-counterfeiting element to ensure the security of the banknote, a transparent window for plastic banknotes and a foil for banknotes. The two banknotes on the back of the banknote are slightly different, the main pattern of the plastic banknote is placed in the middle position, while the main pattern of the banknote is placed in the upper middle position for the watermark, but the front and back of the banknote also reduce the area of the watermark area, thereby expanding the area of the main image.
Overall, compared with the traditional horizontal layout design of banknotes, the vertical design of the banknote face space utilization rate is higher, the area of the character image is also correspondingly increased, especially the performance of the athlete's whole body, with a stronger visual impact.
hue
Let's talk about the hue of the banknotes, the two banknotes are dominated by a large area of blue, and the background main scene is blue, with a partial shading of purple. Blue is a cool tone, which is very suitable for the theme of the Winter Olympics. I think that the performance of winter is either the white of the snow or the blue. For banknote design, white is the main color...
Design Theme (Front)
In the theme section of the banknote, the two commemorative banknotes are divided into "ice sports" and "snow sports", ice sports are double skating, which is a very ornamental event, and snow sports are freestyle skiing, which is a very challenging project. This represents both the spectator category and the competitive category of the Winter Olympic Games.
In the main pattern design of the front, the most attractive thing to me is the fusion of light and shadow elements, and the change of the light and shade of the dense color of the dot line is drawn into light and shadow, so that the athlete's frozen posture immediately has a sense of movement and three-dimensionality.
This design is very novel. The free-form skier on the banknote has his arms outstretched, and there are remnants of limbs and arms around his body, which looks very dynamic. In addition, the light of the banknote is shot from the athlete's back, and the plastic banknote is shot from the top of the athlete's head.
Design Theme (Back)
The theme motif on the back is the characteristic Winter Olympic venue "Ice Cube" and "Snow Ruyi". The ice cube on the plastic banknote is the former Water Cube, located at the National Aquatics Center in Beijing, the venue for the curling event, one of the ice events at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The "Snow Ruyi" of the banknote is the National Ski Jumping Center in Zhangjiakou, where ski jumping related events were held at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Among them, the Ice Cube is the Ice Cube at night, with the effect of starry sky above the building. Snow Ruyi is a snow ruyi under the sun, and there is also a direct sun effect on the side of the building.
The rest of the design elements
The rest of the design elements, the lower part of the back of the banknote is the Great Wall, including the front film also has the Great Wall. Zhangjiakou is known as the "Museum of the Great Wall of All Dynasties", and there are ruins of the Great Wall of the Warring States, Qin, Han, Northern Wei, Northern Qi, Tang, Jin and Ming dynasties, including the Dajing Gate. "Watching the Winter Olympics at the foot of the Great Wall and seeing the Great Wall at the Foot of the Winter Olympics" has also become a highlight of the Zhangjiakou Division of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
There is also a watermark of the banknote, which is based on the panda-based design and creation of the Winter Olympic mascot Ice Pier pier foot on the ski flying image. and the emblem of the Winter Olympics, "Winter Dream".
The back of the banknote is a snowflake pattern printed with brilliant light change ink, and the plastic banknote is a "musical note" pattern that matches the double skating event.
One paper and one plastic, one snow and one ice, everywhere reflects the charm of ice and snow in the Winter Olympics.
The above is almost the design part of this pair of Winter Olympic banknotes. If there is any content mentioned, please add it to your friends.
Write at the end
Overall, the design theme of this Pair of Winter Olympic banknotes is clear, simple and intuitive, and the design of the banknotes is paired in many places, such as ornamental and competitive two types of projects, the sun and the starry sky of the day, as well as single and double, male and female, dynamic and static, and even the shaded lines on the back of the banknotes are contour lines, and the shaded lines of plastic banknotes are straight lines.
Personally, I really appreciate this pair of Winter Olympic banknotes, how do you think the design is? You can leave your comments in the comment area.
