The colorful halo on the head is inspired by the Beijing National Speed Skating Arena - the "Ice Ribbon", and the flowing lines symbolize the ice and snow sports track and 5G high technology. The head shell shape is taken from the ice and snow sports helmet. The overall shape of the panda is like an astronaut, an ice and snow sports expert from the future, symbolizing the combination of modern technology and ice and snow sports.
