Who designed the Olympic torch and the Asian Games torch?

2010 Guangzhou Asian Games.

The torch was officially announced a few days ago, and the torch was in fact completely selected by the public - the two candidate torches named "trend" and "enterprising" were posted on the official website of the Guangzhou Asian Games for PK, every netizen is a judge, and they can vote for their favorite torch, and finally the torch named "trend" won and was set as the torch of the Asian Games.

The design team of the "trend" torch - University of Science and Technology Beijing.

The Department of Industrial Design in the School of Mechanical Engineering may be relatively new to non-design professionals, but their design ability and experience should not be underestimated: they participated in the design competition for the Beijing Olympic torch and finally reached the semi-finals. 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games torch design team (from left):

After watching the ignition of the Asian Games in Doha, I suddenly wanted to design for the 08 Olympics. After searching on the Internet, it seems that many people have already thought of the plan of using the beacon. I wasn't going to write it out; But on second thought, it took me a little bit of a limited amount of brain, so let's write it out.

In view of the fact that the Great Wall is a symbol of China, the ignition scheme also draws on the design of the beacon tower, and most importantly from the idea of the beacon fire transmission. From the perspective of the geographical distribution of the beacon tower, there are four design schemes: 1. It is on the bird's nest to form a circular Great Wall.

Because the distance is not long, it can be considered to be built exactly according to the shape of the Great Wall. 2. The various competition venues in Beijing constitute a beacon network. 3. All Olympic venues across the country constitute a beacon network.

4. Build a nationwide beacon network in major cities across the country. The latter three schemes, the center of the beacon network, are all in the Bird's Nest. Because of the long distance, it was impossible to use the Great Wall to link the various beacons.

Then, to design the ignition scheme. Because it is a beacon network, it is not like other ignition schemes, which can be done at once. The ignition of this beacon network should first be ignited from a certain point, and then through some kind of transmission route, and finally passed to the main cauldron of the bird's nest.

So, the design here is mainly the design of how to make the beacon pass the method. The delivery plan should not be too simple, and it is best to have some difficulty, but as long as it is well controlled, it is completely achievable. Because it is a network, the transmission of the flame is not linear, but in the form of a network, gradually moving closer to the main cauldron.

The following are the initial thoughts: 1. Use the archery scheme, which can only be used for the first beacon scheme. Moreover, this scheme seems to have been used in a certain ignition scheme, and there is nothing new.

2. Use the athlete relay to light a small torch from one beacon tower, and then send it to the next beacon like a torch relay. 3. Use a concave mirror to gather the optical fiber to the next beacon and ignite it by heat. This has certain requirements for the accuracy of the production and installation of concave mirrors, and there are some difficulties in implementation.

Finally, consider the process design of ignition. It is simply divided into two types: 1. In a very short period of time, complete the process of beacon transmission.

2. From the beginning of the opening ceremony, the ignition will begin, and then it will be passed slowly, and finally the cauldron will be lit at the end of the opening ceremony.

Beijing 2008 Olympic torchThe creative inspiration comes from the "auspicious clouds" pattern of symbiosis and harmony. The cultural concept of Xiangyun has a history of thousands of years in China and is a representative symbol of Chinese culture.

The design of the torch shape is inspired by traditional Chinese paper scrolls. The use of the lacquer red stool color on the torch from the Han Dynasty makes the mold clearly different from the previous Olympic torch design, and the red and silver contrasting colors produce a striking visual effect. The upper and lower proportions of the torch are evenly divided, and the auspicious cloud pattern and three-dimensional relief craft design make the whole torch elegant and gorgeous, and the connotation is heavy.

Value significance. The outstanding design of the torch adds a unique Chinese color to the relay, and the "auspicious clouds" spread the auspicious and peaceful message of the Beijing Olympic Games to the world. I am convinced that the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay will leave many extraordinary memories in the memories of people all over the world and create new dreams.

From the very beginning of the judging, the creative scheme of "Paper Scroll" attracted the eyes of many Chinese and foreign judges with a strong Chinese flavor. It cleverly combines the four great inventions of ancient China.

One of the pieces of paper is a symbol of the torch.

The torch is taken from the idea of "auspicious clouds", which is very consistent with the theme of the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay "Harmonious Journey". Its relay event is a torch relay event with the longest relay route, the widest range and the largest number of participants in the history of the Olympic Games, and has written a glorious chapter in the history of the Olympic movement.

The Beijing Olympic torch is shaped like a piece of paper rolled up, which reminds us of papermaking, one of China's four great inventions, and also highlights the longevity and wisdom of Chinese culture.

The pattern on the Beijing Olympic torch is a red cloud pattern, referred to as auspicious eggplant auspicious clouds, which mainly conveys the harmonious and beautiful traditional Chinese culture and shows the auspicious meaning.

Torch Structure:

In terms of structure, the flying torch is mainly composed of three parts: the outer streamer, the inner streamer and the hydrogen combustion device. Underneath the torch is a pattern of auspicious clouds full of Chinese elements, which gradually transition from the bottom to the pattern of snowflakes, and finally the Olympic flame burns at the top of the torch. The emblem of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is engraved in the middle of the torch.

The shell of the flare is made of carbon fiber and composite materials, the mass of carbon fiber is only 1 4 of steel, and the strength can reach seven to nine times that of steel. The world's first torch made of carbon fiber and composite materials has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, water and dirt resistance, and will not be cold to the touch even in an environment below zero degrees Celsius. The flare uses hydrogen as fuel, which, in addition to being environmentally friendly, ensures that the flare can continue to burn in extremely cold conditions.

The design idea of the Asian Games torch is derived from the Liangzhu culture, which empirically proves the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization. With its solemn and far-reaching shape, through the torchbearers' hand to hand, to show the world the unique creativity of Chinese design and the hard-core power of Made in China, the torch image of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou 2022 was released as Torch.

Characteristics of the design of the torch of the Asian GamesThe torch shape grows from bottom to top, the overall height is 730 mm, the net weight is 1200 grams, the torch base is based on eight water veins as the vein of civilization, representing the eight major water systems in Zhejiang, the torch body is evolved by the Liangzhu spiral pattern, the shape resembles a fingerprint and the natural collapsing and collapsing weave is delicate and fine, the torch crown is characterized by the meaning of Yucong, the square and the circle are blended and stand tall, and the design of the fire outlet is derived from the earliest oracle bone glyph of Cong, implying that the light is repeated in the inner circle.

The overall contour curve is like holding a firewood in the hand, bursting out of the outward-facing fusion of the athlete's sense of strength and convergence in the movement, the torch symbolizes the passing of the torch of Chinese civilization, the torch is represented by jade, and Xiaoheng is based on the humanities and history and mountains and rivers, which is not only a tribute and inheritance of Chinese culture.

The torch name of the 19th Asian Games is Torch

The torch of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2022 is called "Torch". The design idea originates from the Liangzhu culture, which proves the history of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, and shows the unique creativity of Chinese design and the hard-core power of Chinese manufacturing to the world through the torchbearers' solemn and far-reaching shape.

The torch is represented by jade cong and is based on humanistic history and mountains and rivers, which is not only a tribute and inheritance of Chinese culture, but also shows the world the real, three-dimensional and comprehensive ancient China, modern China and future China, so that the holy land of Chinese civilization shines more brilliantly.

The meaning of the torch of the 19th Asian Games

The torch shape "grows" from the bottom up, with an overall height of 730 mm and a net weight of 1,200 grams. Juji, with eight water veins as the veins of civilization, represents the eight major water systems in Zhejiang; The torch body, evolved from the Liangzhu spiral pattern, resembles a fingerprint, naturally intertwined, delicate and fine; The torch crown, characterized by the meaning of Yucong, is square and round, standing proudly.

The design of the fire outlet is derived from the earliest oracle bone glyph of "Cong", which means "light starts again and again in the inner circle"; The overall contour curve is like holding firewood in hand, bursting out of the athlete's sense of strength and convergence from the outside in the movement and stillness.
