Last night, Zhang Qiang, the designer of the emblem, was interviewed by our reporter.

Zhang Qiang, the designer of the emblem, said that the core concept of the emblem is the "Five-goat Flame".

The source of inspiration

"Wuyang" can best represent Guangzhou.

Perfect fit with the spirit of "flame"

Why did you choose the "Wuyang" logo as the main element of the emblem works? Zhang Qiang explained in an interview with this reporter that we have been looking for something that can be used as a symbol of Guangzhou. The emblem works should not only represent Guangzhou and the Asian Games, but also show the spirit that Guangzhou has been at the forefront of China's reform and opening up and will be at the forefront of Asia and the world in the future. "Wuyang" is a symbol that Guangzhou people are very familiar with and a symbol of Yangcheng in the hearts of ordinary people. In the streets and lanes, the logo of "Wuyang" can be seen everywhere. From the design concept, the emblem of the Asian Games is very important for the identification of a city. The works of the emblem of Guangzhou Asian Games should let Asia and the whole world know about Guangzhou and let Guangzhou people know more about Guangzhou. 1990 Beijing Asian Games emblem chose the Great Wall as the main element, which represents China, while 20 10 Guangzhou Asian Games emblem undoubtedly represents Guangzhou.

Zhang Qiang said that in the design process, he did not consider economic interests, but only how to make the emblem more perfect. How to make his works better represent Guangzhou is the problem he considers most. Now the final work is quite different from his original plan. After the first draft came out, the opinions of leaders and experts from all sides were integrated. In the end, the design team he led found a meeting point between the "Flame" spirit of the Olympic Games and the Asian Games and the "Wuyang" symbol of Guangzhou. After many revisions, the final work was formed.

The author revealed the secret.

The designer stayed in Japan for many years and returned to his hometown to start a business.

His works stand out and are well received by the media.

Zhang Qiang, who had studied in Japan for 9 years, had long hair and became the object of media enthusiasm that night. He told reporters that 200 1 After he returned to his hometown of Guangzhou, he founded Guangzhou Sino-Canadian Design Co., Ltd. in Huanghuagang Science and Technology Park. The company is small in scale and mainly focuses on industrial design. This time, among more than 2,500 entries, Zhang Qiang's works stood out and eventually became the emblem works. What the judges appreciate most is the perfect combination of his creative ideas in the design of his works and the Guangzhou Asian Games.

Wu, director of Huanghuagang Science and Technology Park Management Committee, praised Zhang Qiang. He thinks the design team led by Zhang Qiang is very eye-catching. Studying in Japan for many years, learning advanced foreign design concepts and broadening his horizons is also his greatest capital.

It is reported that enterprises founded by foreign students like Zhang Qiang have developed very well in Huanghuagang Science and Technology Park. "Enterprises run by international students have a strong sense of innovation and great growth." Since 2000, Huanghuagang Science and Technology Park has attracted foreign students to set up 180 enterprises, accounting for about a quarter of the total number of enterprises set up by foreign students in Guangzhou, making it one of the most intensive parks in Guangzhou to attract foreign students to start businesses.

Creative interpretation of the emblem

The idea of the emblem originated from a beautiful legend. According to legend, a long time ago, there was a drought in Guangzhou and there was no harvest. People have nothing to do but pray for the blessing of the gods day and night. Their piety finally touched the five immortals. The fairies floated here on five fairy sheep with different colors and ears of rice. They dedicated the ears of grain to people, hoping that there would never be famine here. After that, they flew away, and the five fairy sheep turned into stones and stayed on earth. Since then, the weather here has been good every year, and the grain has been abundant. Because of this magical legend, Guangzhou is called "Yangcheng" and "Guangzhou City".

In the traditional culture of China, "sheep" is an auspicious thing, which can bring people good luck. "Sheep" is associated with "auspicious" in ancient Chinese characters in China, and "auspicious" can also be written as "auspicious sheep". The word "beauty" in China's writing consists of "sheep" and "big", which is the traditional aesthetic concept of China. In China, many words and phrases related to beauty are related to the word "sheep". Therefore, the concept of "sheep" means that the people of Guangzhou will greet the 20 10 Asian Games with the best attitude, and will dedicate the best things to the people of Asia and other countries in the world.

The emblem pattern and soft rising lines form the outline of Wuyang and look like a torch. The composition is abstract and concrete, smart and elegant, yet steady, which symbolizes that the flame of the Asian Games will burn and never go out. It not only embodies the symbol of Guangzhou, but also expresses the good wishes of the people of Guangzhou, and also shows the dynamic nature of the Games.

Designers talk about creation

Sheep, leader, sheep are beautiful.

16 The emblem of the Asian Games is designed, and the lines rise softly, forming the outline of Wuyang, which looks like a torch. The composition is abstract and concrete, smart and elegant, yet steady, which symbolizes that the flame of the Asian Games will burn and never go out. It not only embodies the symbol of Guangzhou, but also expresses the good wishes of the people of Guangzhou, and also shows the dynamic nature of the Games.

The designer of the emblem is Zhang Qiang, a designer from Guangzhou, Jiangxi, born in 1970. He painted as a child and studied in Japan for 9 years. Last night, when interviewed by reporters about his creative ideas, he said that Wuyang is the most familiar image of Guangzhou people. It can be seen in the street view of Guangzhou and the objects that can represent Guangzhou. The emblem is very important to identify the city, just as the Great Wall represents China and Wuyang also represents the image of Guangzhou. Moreover, in the traditional culture of China, "sheep" is an auspicious thing, which can bring people good luck. "Sheep" is associated with "auspicious" in ancient Chinese characters in China, and "auspicious" can also be written as "auspicious sheep". The word "beauty" in China's writing consists of "sheep" and "big", which is the traditional aesthetic concept of China. In China, many words and phrases related to beauty are related to the word "sheep". Therefore, adopting the concept of "sheep" not only means leading Asia, but also means that the people of Guangzhou will greet the 20 10 Asian Games with the best attitude and give the best things to the people of Asia and other countries in the world. Regarding how to use the bonus of 6,543,800 yuan, Zhang Qiang said that there is no specific plan at present.

One of the judges of the emblem, Professor Hu Chuanni, director of the Department of Decorative Arts and Design of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, introduced the whole production process of the emblem. She said that what attracted them most about Zhang Qiang's design was the design of Wuyang, because Wuyang is the cultural symbol that best represents Guangzhou. Of course, at first, Zhang Qiang's Wuyang was not combined with the four runways, but reflected on the Xiguan window, and the sun was also stacked with Wuyang. Later, at the suggestion of experts, he combined Wuyang with four runways and moved the sun above the Wuyang logo, making the whole emblem full of passion and movement.

The six components of the emblem

1. Sun

2. Four runways

3. Wuyang logo

The runway and Wuyang are combined into a burning torch.
