Meaning and History
1988 – today
The logo has two kinds of writing: Chinese and English. As a result, the name occupies two lines aligned on the right and left edges. Despite the difference in the number of characters, both parts of the text look harmonious. This is because the designers solved the compatibility problem by increasing the size of the glyphs. Both letters and signs are smooth, uppercase, colored red. Above them is an oval with chrome elements. Due to the wide sides, shadows, and bright highlights, the oval seems volumetric.
The red color makes the text more vivid, like a cherry on top of an ice cream cone. The chrome oval is like a shiny buckle that holds everything together. It creates a futuristic feel, making you think of spaceships or cool gadgets. The 3D image makes it even more interesting as if there is some secret world hidden inside this oval.
