Youth Olympic Games slogan: Grow with YOG ***

Interpretation of the emblem: Content and meaning: The emblem of the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games was officially released on May 19, 2011. The emblem graphic consists of three parts. The bottom is based on the English name of the Youth Olympic Games (YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES) and the visual logo (five rings and the words "YOG DNA"); the middle is based on the year number 2014 as the composition transition, and the top is It is a place that embodies the characteristics of Nanjing: the English "NANJING" is designed into a lively font, and lines are used to create a hollow perspective effect. The best thing is that the three N letters, with two n at the beginning and the end, have been specially processed. The lowercase "n" is like the shape of an arched city gate; and the outline of the Jiangnan folk houses is outlined with lines on the outside. The city gate symbolizes the door of youth that welcomes and communicates; the Jiangnan folk houses symbolize gathering, health and the home of the Youth Olympic Games. The emblem fully expresses Nanjing’s good wishes to open its arms to welcome young people from all over the world, communicate friendly with the world, and become a happy city for young people. The most vivid and prominent ones are the 7 letters "NANJING", which use 6 colors, two different blues, two different greens, orange, and "pin color", which is what we usually call rose red. The impact of color is immediately apparent. Through this logo, the concept of the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games is reflected, which can be summarized in 16 words: international style, Olympic spirit, youthful atmosphere, and Nanjing culture. The entire emblem reflects the design concept of "international style, Olympic spirit, youthful atmosphere, and Nanjing culture". Communication and Commitment: For the first time, the International Olympic Committee has strictly limited the content of the Youth Olympic Games emblem. The visual logo of the Youth Olympic Games cannot be modified in any way. The English name of the Youth Olympic Games can only change the font and color. This also determines the designers of these two parts. No room to play. Wang Min, the designer of the emblem and dean of the School of Design of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, said that they basically did not change these two parts, but organically combined the words "2014" and "YOUTH OLYMPIC GAMES" to make the entire emblem look even more... A whole. The visual logo of the Youth Olympic Games in the emblem is framed by a dialog box, which has a strong color of youth, which represents dialogue, communication, exchange and commitment. At the same time, this is also a signature box, hoping that young people participating in the Youth Olympic Games can wear such a logo to promote the spirit of the Youth Olympic Games. This is in line with the original intention of International Olympic Committee President Rogge to create the Youth Olympic Games: to promote the influence of the Olympic movement among young people, value exchanges between athletes and interaction with young friends around the world, and in this way, let the core of the Olympics Values ??can be more widely accepted by youth groups. Youth and vitality: One of the most prominent features of the Youth Olympic Games compared with the Olympic Games is the emphasis on the participation of young people, so the emblem design also highlights youth and vitality. This is reflected in the word "NANJING". The seven letters are displayed in bright colors and are outlined with lines to create a sense of three-dimensionality and perspective.

There are a total of 11 colors appearing in the entire emblem, of which the word "NANJING" accounts for 6, all of which are bright colors. Lin Cunzhen, the emblem designer and associate professor at the School of Design of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, said: "The combination of lines and color blocks is rare in previous designs. This time, lines and color blocks are used to form a space." In the design concept, this breakthrough Like innovation, it also reflects the characteristics of young people. The more jumping, three-dimensional and colorful letter combinations are also very in line with the aesthetics of young people. Welcome to Nanjing: The emblem of the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games skillfully uses lines and color blocks to design the outlines of the Nanjing Ming City Wall gates and Jiangnan folk houses into the word "NANJING", in which the first "N" and the last "N" both appear. A city gate is shaped like a hole, and a few simple "N"-shaped lines are used to outline a three-dimensional structure behind the city gate, forming a freehand style of Jiangnan folk houses. Wang Min said: "The design of this emblem is very different from the previous ones, and there is very little room for improvement, but we still hope to reflect the characteristics of Nanjing culture and Chinese culture as much as possible, because the International Olympic Committee does not allow too many additions. Graphics, so we thought about making a fuss about the text itself, and finally came up with this design. "The Nanjing Ming City Wall is the longest existing urban wall in the world and has become one of the symbols of Nanjing. The Jiangnan folk houses are also from Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. As a symbol, there are still a large number of Jiangnan dwellings remaining in the city. Lin Cunzhen said that the folk houses do not have a specific prototype. "This is an abstract and memory summary of the Jiangnan folk houses." The lines of the folk houses in the emblem are quite similar to the horse head walls in the folk houses, which captures the essence of the characteristics of the Jiangnan folk houses. She revealed that the original idea of ??the city gate in the emblem came from Nanjing Xuanwu Gate. Coincidentally, the Nanjing Youth Olympic Games emblem release ceremony was also held in the square inside Xuanwu Gate. Lin Cunzhen said: "The 'city gate' is the city symbol of Nanjing on the one hand, and at the same time it also means opening the door to welcome young people from all over the world to Nanjing to participate in the Youth Olympic Games."
