"One World, One Dream" embodies the essence and universal values of the Olympic spirit-unity, friendship, progress, harmony, participation and dreams, and expresses the common desire of the whole world to pursue a better future for mankind under the inspiration of the Olympic spirit. Although human beings have different colors, languages and races, we share the charm and joy of the Olympics, pursue the ideal of human peace, belong to the same world and share the same hopes and dreams.

"One World, One Dream" profoundly reflects the core concept of the Beijing Olympic Games, and embodies the harmonious values contained in the people's Olympics as the core and soul of the three concepts of "green Olympics, high-tech Olympics and people's Olympics". It is our dream and pursuit to build a harmonious society and realize harmonious development.

We believe that peaceful progress, harmonious development, harmonious coexistence, win-win cooperation and a better life are the common ideals of the whole world.

"One World, One Dream" is simple and profound, which belongs to both China and the world.

Paralympic sports icon is one of the basic image elements of the Paralympic Games, which is widely used in the road indication system of the Paralympic Games, the signs and decorations inside and outside the venues, and the guide for athletes and spectators to participate in and watch the games. At the same time, it will also be applied to the Paralympic TV broadcast, advertising, market development and other fields to enrich people's Paralympic experience. Paralympic sports icon is an important basic image element that constitutes the Paralympic landscape. It not only has strong functionality, but also requires clear and accurate performance of various sports, which is in harmony with the visual image of the emblem and color system of the Beijing Paralympic Games, and is also an important carrier to convey the concept of hosting the Paralympic Games and the culture of the host country.

According to the characteristics of the Paralympic Games and the successful experience of previous Paralympic Games, especially considering the limited landscape transition period during the Beijing Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, in order to maintain the continuity of the image landscape design style, the Beijing Paralympic Games sports icon adopts the same creative concept and design style as the Olympic Games sports icon.

The basic form of sports icons in the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games is seal script strokes, which combines the pictographic interest of ancient China characters such as Oracle Bone Inscriptions and bronze inscriptions with the simplified features of modern graphics, and meets the requirements of easy identification, easy memory and easy use of sports icons. The clever use of strong black-and-white contrast effect makes the sports icons of Beijing Paralympic Games show distinctive sports characteristics, elegant sports aesthetic feeling and rich cultural connotation, and achieve the harmonious unity of "form" and "meaning".

The sports icon design of the Beijing Paralympic Games includes 20 icons, namely archery, track and field, cycling, equestrian, rugby sevens, judo for the blind, sailing, swimming, table tennis, groundball, futsal, gateball, weightlifting, shooting, sitting volleyball, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair fencing, wheelchair rugby, wheelchair tennis and rowing.

BOCOG began to research, create and evaluate the sports icons of Beijing Paralympic Games in May 2006. The Central Academy of Fine Arts is a member of the Beijing Olympic Games sports icon design team, responsible for design, creation, modification, improvement and related testing. During the period, many experts in the field of design and Paralympic Games, including representatives of disabled athletes, put forward valuable opinions and suggestions. From June 5 to February 38, 2006, BOCOG Executive Committee officially approved the sports icon design scheme of Beijing Paralympic Games, and submitted it to the IFs for review. In early February 2007, the International Federation of Individual Sports approved the design scheme of sports icons for the Beijing Paralympic Games, and in April 2007, the International Paralympic Committee officially approved the sports icons for the Beijing Paralympic Games.

Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games Medal

The design creativity and modeling of medals in Beijing Paralympic Games are in the same strain as those in Beijing Olympic Games, which embodies the requirement of "two Olympics are equally wonderful" and perfectly interprets the theme of "one world, one dream".

The design of inlaid jade on the front of the medal of Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games is inspired by the ancient jade modeling in China, with the emblem of Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games in the middle. The color of jade can be divided into gold, silver and bronze, that is, white jade, blue white jade and sapphire. The logo on the back of the medal is the emblem of the International Paralympic Games and the name of the sports, as well as the Chinese, English and Braille of the "Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games". The medal hook evolved from the traditional Yulong Puwenhuang in China.

The IPC has strict regulations on the materials, identifiability, weight, size and design of Paralympic medals. The medals of the Paralympic champion and runner-up are all made of sterling silver, and the champion medal must be plated with not less than 6 grams of pure gold.

This design not only conforms to the relevant regulations of the International Paralympic Committee, but also echoes the medals of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games in terms of design creativity and modeling, which embodies the equality and mutual respect between healthy people and disabled people. Olympic medals and Paralympic medals have the same value and supreme honor, which is the best embodiment of "One World, One Dream".

(1) Interpreting the rich ideas and Olympic spirit of the Beijing Paralympic Games

Cattle are down-to-earth, diligent and tenacious, and never give up. The good image of cattle contains the spirit of self-improvement and tenacious struggle of disabled athletes, which is consistent with the spirit of hard work and enterprising of Paralympic athletes and the concept of "transcendence, integration and enjoyment" of Beijing Paralympic Games.

Cow, simple, optimistic and diligent, embodies a positive attitude towards life. The Olympic Games advocates a positive philosophy of life, while the Paralympic Games advocates that physically disabled people have the same right to compete in the arena as healthy people, and this spirit will continue into their lives, so as to become stronger in life and add strength to social progress.

(b) It embodies the harmony between man and nature and the concept of "Green Olympics and People's Olympics" in Beijing Olympic Games.

Cattle is one of the closest animals to human beings. It is friendly, frank and full of affinity. In the long river of world civilization, pastoral is people's yearning and praise for a harmonious life. The image of cattle widely appears in the natural, soothing and poetic pastoral life depicted in literary and artistic works, which reflects people's yearning and hope for the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

In addition, in the traditional culture of China, cows also have the meaning of praying for good weather, abundant crops, peace and harmony.

(3) It has strong national style and cultural characteristics.

The design scheme absorbs the modeling and design style of China folk prints, New Year pictures and toys, and combines the characteristics of modern animation modeling, which embodies the perfect combination of traditional national style, popular taste and the flavor of the times.

(d) The image of cattle is widely recognized internationally.

Cattle are the earliest animals of human beings, such as the frescoes of Lascaux in France and the rock paintings of altamira in Spain. The positive image of cattle is widely recognized internationally. Choosing the most familiar animal image as the mascot of the Paralympic Games is different from the traditional idea of choosing rare animals and has certain innovation.

(5) It has a broad space for extended design and market development.

The design scheme conforms to the principle of stability. Its basic image is suitable for the combination of sports modeling and Paralympic souvenirs, as well as the development of fluff, plastic and other materials. Mascot souvenirs can be made of a single material, or they can be made of different materials in combination with image characteristics.
