Xiamen, a coastal city in East China's Fujian province, released its Egret City image logo and cartoon image logo at a press conference on Jan 12.
The Egret is the city bird of Xiamen and the Egret City image logo was designed to resemble an egret soaring into the sky, which symbolizes Xiamen's pioneering spirit. The blue, green and white colors in the logo symbolize the green ecology, openness, and inclusiveness of the oceanside city.
The cartoon image logo of Xiamen, LOOK, is abstracted from the egret bird in the Zen ink painting, and is shaped like a water droplet. It is not limited to the shape of the egret, but an abstract spirit likeness, which is full of vitality.
