Ice piers as
Mascot of the Beijing Winter Olympics
It has become a household name
But someone 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
The design of the ice pier is generally executed
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-cured
Just like ice is transparent
It is reminiscent of snow sports
But consider
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
thereupon
The giant panda representing the national image
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 is the disadvantage"
No highlights
When the organizing committee raised
Put the elements of the National Speed Skating Hall "Ice Ribbon"
After blending in
Ideas opened up
The "Ice Ribbon" is a curved shape
It is consistent with the opening of the shell of the panda's face
Five ribbons are then given the color of the five Olympic rings
Pandas have color
Instantly full of energy
Ice piers dressed in rock sugar shells
Looks like one
There is an astronaut image
"Space Panda"
Very tech-savvy
And "space panda" is not just talk
Ice piers and snow melt
Zhu Rong has been "boarded"
Went to Mars
