Emblem interpretation: content and meaning: Nanjing Youth Olympic Games emblem May 19, 2011 was officially released. The emblem graphic consists of three parts, the bottom, based on the English name of the Youth Olympic Games (YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES) and the visual symbols (the five rings and the words "YOG DNA"); in the middle, the year number 2014 for the transition of the composition, and at the top of the most characteristic of the embodiment of the characteristics of Nanjing: English "NANJING" is designed as a lively font, and lines are used to make the effect of hollow perspective, the most wonderful thing is that the 3 N letters, the two n's at the end of the head and the two n's at the end have been given some special treatment, and the lower-case "n" is just like an arch in the shape of the city gates; and the periphery has been outlined with the lines of the Jiangnan folklore. The outer part of the letter is outlined with lines like the outline of a Jiangnan residence. The city gate symbolizes the youthful gate of welcome and communication, while the Jiangnan houses symbolize joyful gathering, health and the home of the Youth Olympic Games. The emblem fully expresses Nanjing's openness to welcome youth from all over the world, its friendly exchanges with the world, and its wish to become a city of joy for youth. The most colorful and prominent is the seven letters "NANJING", **** used six colors, two different blues, two different greens, as well as orange, and "magenta", which is what we usually call rose red. The impact of the colors stands out at once. The logo reflects the concept of the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games, which is summarized in 16 words: international style, Olympic spirit, youthfulness and Nanjing culture. The entire emblem embodies the design concept of "International Style, Olympic Spirit, Youthfulness and Nanjing Culture". Communication and Commitment: For the first time, the IOC strictly limited the content of the Youth Olympic Games emblem, the visual logo of the Youth Olympic Games could not be modified in any way, and the English name of the Youth Olympic Games could only be changed in font and color, which also determined that there was no room for the designers of these two parts to play. Emblem designers, the Central Academy of Fine Arts School of Design Director Wang Min said that the two parts of the basic changes they did not do, just the "2014" characters and "YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES" for an organic combination, so that the entire The emblem looks more as a whole. The visual symbol of the Youth Olympic Games in the emblem is framed by a dialogue box with strong youth colors, which represents dialogue, communication, exchange and commitment. At the same time, it is a signature frame, which is intended to be worn by young people participating in the Youth Olympic Games to promote the spirit of the Youth Olympic Games. This is in line with IOC President José Rogge's intention in founding the Youth Olympic Games: to promote the influence of the Olympic Movement among young people, to value the communication between athletes and the interaction with young people around the world, and to make the core values of the Olympics more widely accepted by the youth community. Youth and vitality: One of the most prominent features of the Youth Olympic Games compared with the Olympic Games is the strong emphasis on the participation of young people, so the design of the emblem also emphasizes youth and vitality. This is reflected in the "NANJING" characters, seven letters in bright colors, supplemented by lines outlined to form a sense of three-dimensionality and perspective. There are 11 colors in the whole emblem***, of which the word "NANJING" accounts for 6, all of which are bright colors. Emblem designer, the Central Academy of Fine Arts School of Design Associate Professor Lin Cunzhen said: "The combined use of lines and color blocks is not seen in the previous design, this time with lines and color blocks composed of space." In the design concept, this breakthrough and innovation is also embodied in the characteristics of young people, more jumping, three-dimensional and color impact of the letter combinations are also very consistent with the aesthetics of young people. Welcome to Nanjing: The Nanjing Youth Olympic Games emblem cleverly uses lines and color blocks to design the city gates of the Nanjing Ming City Wall and the outlines of the Jiangnan houses into the word "NANJING", in which the first "N" and the last "N" both present a city gate. The first "N" and the last "N" present a hole of the city gate, and at the same time, with a few simple "N" shaped lines in the city behind the gate outlines the structure of the body, forming the Jiangnan residential modeling. Wang Min said: "The design of this emblem and the previous are very different, play space is very small, but we still hope to reflect the culture of Nanjing, Chinese culture as much as possible, because the IOC does not allow to add a lot of graphics, so we are considering or in the text itself to do the article, and ultimately there is such a design." Nanjing Ming City Wall is the world's longest surviving urban city wall, has become one of the symbols of Nanjing, Jiangnan residence is also a symbol of the ancient capital of Nanjing in the Six Dynasties, there are still a large number of Jiangnan residence remains in the city. Lin Cunzhen said, there is no a specific prototype of residential, "this is an abstract, memory of the Jiangnan residential summary", the emblem in the residential line is quite similar to the residential horse head wall, grasping the essence of the characteristics of the Jiangnan residential. She revealed that the emblem of the original idea of the city gate from the Nanjing Xuanwumen, coincidentally, the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games emblem release ceremony is also in Xuanwumen Square. Lin Cunzhen said: "'City Gate' on the one hand is the city symbol of Nanjing, but also has the significance of opening the door to welcome guests, welcome young people from all over the world to Nanjing to participate in the Youth Olympic Games."
