Ice piers as
Mascot of the Beijing Winter Olympics
It has become a household name
But some people can't help but ask:
Why pandas again?
Transparent shell of the ice pier
What is the origin?
Actually in front of the ice pier
The original image design was
A bunch of sugar gourds
Beijing Winter Olympics mascot ice pier design general execution
Liu Pingyun said
As a Southerner
One of his deep impressions of the North was
Rock sugar gourd
So initially he used rock sugar gourds
Several versions of the mascot image were designed
Icing of rock sugar gourd
It is liquid solidified and is as transparent as ice
It is reminiscent of snow sports
But considering that rock sugar gourd is a snack
Volume cannot carry the image of a big country
So the design team changed its thinking
Consider replacing under the ice shell
Images of tigers, rabbits, elk, etc
But it still feels inappropriate
So the giant panda represents the image of the country
Once again, I stepped into the vision of the design team
"Appointed" as the mascot of the Beijing Winter Olympics
But how to put pandas and ice shells
Perfectly combined
It has become a "bottleneck" for the design team.
Dig a hole in the panda's shell
Always feel "what the disadvantages are", no highlights
When the organizing committee raised
After integrating the elements of the "ice ribbon" of the National Speed Skating Hall into it, the idea was opened——
The "Ice Ribbon" is a curved shape and the opening of the panda's face shell is in line with the color of the five Olympic rings that are given to the five ribbons
Pandas have color
Instantly full of energy
The ice pier in the shell of rock sugar looks like a one
"Space Panda" with astronaut image
Very tech-savvy
And "space panda" is not just talk
The ice pier and snow rongrong have "boarded" the Zhu Rong
Went to Mars
What else do you know
