On February 4, 2022, China Post issued a set of 2 commemorative stamps for the "Opening Commemoration of the 24th Winter Olympic Games", with the stamp design named "Common Future, Light of Hope"!
As the general director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Winter Olympic games and the Winter Paralympic Games, Zhang Yimou also participated in the communication and discussion of stamp design, and jointly completed the creation of stamp artwork with designer Wang Huming.
Realizing the artistic transformation of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in every inch, the overall picture of the stamp is simple and exquisite, showing an ethereal, elegant and modern design sense, and the wonderful glory of "Chinese-style romance" is remembered and treasured.
Conveying to the world the image of a responsible big country that adheres to the concept of green and low-carbon also embodies the design concept of instant eternity!
Innovative craftsmanship, exquisite!
Although there is a blessing of thematic advantages, the innovative process of this set of stamps makes Xiaohui shine even more!
The holographic cat's eye, cobalt blue ink, dynamic diffraction, screen snowflakes and other new processes and new technologies used in stamp printing are the first time in the history of Stamp Printing in China.
The stamp "Common To the Future" introduces holographic cat's eye technology to present it, and uses holographic positioning hot stamping technology to highlight the silver-gray tone.
"Together for the Future" stamps
Through the plain holographic cat's eye technology and laser relief technology, the spherical bulge of the stamp and the platinum relief texture of the Winter Olympic emblem are matched, so that the main image element layering is prominent, and the three-dimensional sense is very strong.
The Emblem of the Winter Olympic Games and the silver five rings are vividly displayed against the background of the snowflake shape.
"Light of Hope" stamps
The stamp "Light of Hope", using a special cobalt blue ink extracted from mineral pigments, has a bright and pure color and bright and saturated hue!
Under the illumination of fluorescent lamps, the looming snowflakes are crystal clear, full of cobalt blue noble and elegant; olive branches and snowflakes are more dazzling, and the "light of hope" is more colorful.
In order to increase the ornamental and interesting, there are stamps "Together to the Future" and its English part, made into anti-counterfeiting ink - colorless fluorescent blue; under the violet lamp, fluorescent blue and cobalt blue main colors are naturally integrated.
In order to make the Winter Olympic torch in the stamp form a spark, the R & D team boldly innovated and applied the holographic dynamic diffraction positioning scalding technology to the Big Snowflake Center.
As the stamp rotates, the effect of starlight flickering appears in the center of the large snowflake, which is similar to the opening ceremony "micro-fire".
