The theme slogan is one of the important symbols of previous Olympic Games, a high generalization of the Olympic spirit, and a vivid embodiment of the unique culture and spiritual outlook of the host country and city.
In order to fully express the vision and goal of hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics and create a unique theme slogan, BOCOG started the collection of theme slogan creation in May 2020, and collected theme slogan ideas from Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University of China, Communication University of China and China Academy of Social Sciences in a targeted way.
After several rounds of evaluation, listening to the opinions of relevant parties and experts, and reaching an agreement with the International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee, we finally decided to take "working together for the future" as the theme slogan of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics.
Mascot of the 24th Winter Olympics
The mascot of Beijing Winter Olympics "Ice Shield" is designed and created based on the panda. Combining the panda image with the super ice crystal shell embodies the characteristics of winter ice and snow movement and modern science and technology.
The shape of the head shell is taken from the ice and snow sports helmet, decorated with colorful rings, and inspired by the "Ice Ribbon" of the National Speed Skating Hall of Beijing Winter Olympics. The flowing bright lines symbolize the ice and snow sports track and 5G high technology; The heart-shaped pattern in the palm of the left hand represents the warm welcome of the host country to friends all over the world. The overall image resembles an astronaut, which means creating extraordinary and exploring the future, and embodies the infinite possibility of pursuing Excellence, leading the times and facing the future.
