Features of the design

The pictograms of Paralympic Games use the structure of the Chinese seal script as the basic form, while incorporating the pictographic charm of the oracle bone writing (jia gu wen) and the bronzeware script (jin wen) with the simplification of modern graphics. The seal script is formally round and smooth, both rough and gentle, and beautiful and graceful, demonstrating the quintessence of traditional Chinese aesthetics. The design not only features the particular movement and dynamism of each sport, but is also easy to recognize, remember and use.
