The British at that time used 4,500 tons of steel and 300,000 pieces of glass to build it in Hyde Park, London. A crystal clear building. On May 1 of that year, the United Kingdom held the first World Expo in the Crystal Palace. More than ten countries attended the expo and exhibited a number of new products such as automobile engines, hydraulic printing presses, and textile machinery, kicking off the expo. . Since then, World Expos have left wonderful impressions in Paris, France, San Francisco in the United States, Brussels, Belgium, Osaka, Japan, and Hannover, Germany. The Bell telephone, the Corliss steam engine, the Edison electric light, the Wright airplane, and a large number of other "crystals of wisdom" embodying human technological innovation have all made a splash at previous World Expos. Therefore, the World Expo, which has a history of more than 150 years, has always been regarded as a "comprehensive exposition" that gathers the best from all over the world.

Edit this paragraph Shanghai World Expo emblem

The emblem is a visual symbol that reflects the concept. The Shanghai World Expo emblem was produced through global solicitation and expert review.

The shape of the emblem resembles the Chinese character "世" and is cleverly combined with the number "2010" to complement each other and express the Chinese people's strong desire to host a world-class expo with multi-cultural integration.

The emblem looks like a family of three hugging each other and enjoying each other, which expresses the harmony of the family. In a broad sense, it can represent all mankind including "you, me and him", and expresses the concept of "understanding, communication, gathering and cooperation" of the World Expo.

The emblem uses green as the main color, full of life and vitality, adding upward, rising and bright dynamics and connotations, expressing the Chinese people's creative passion for the future and pursuing sustainable development. The mascot of China's 2010 Shanghai World Expo - Haibao

In this life: the ocean elf is full of treasures

"Haibao" is an inclusive, harmonious and slightly humorous humanoid cartoon. This cute cartoon The elf has the character "human" as its basic shape and blue as its original color. This ocean elf who can only say "hi" when he is born exudes a unique light of "happiness, enthusiasm, sunshine, and vitality". Shao Longtu, the designer of "Hai Bao", can't hide his joy when mentioning this treasure. In his opinion, this little ocean elf is full of treasures and reflects the unique charm and connotation of the World Expo.

The biggest memory symbol of "Hai Bao" is the wave-like hairstyle, which moves with the wind and is full of vitality, always reminding it of the tolerant, broad and agile connotation of the sea; "Hai Bao" has thick legs Powerful, showing the city's stable, perseverance, and upright character; "Haibao" has slender arms, open to welcome new and old friends from all over the world. Visually, "Haibao" with open arms is also a symbol of "the sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great". "Big"; the corners of "Haibao"'s mouth are slightly raised, and a pair of big eyes are curiously looking at the colorful world. When the 2010 World Expo is held, treasures from all over the world will be displayed in Shanghai. "Haibao" is obviously looking forward to it and yearning for it.

The sea-blue skin is adorable, and the curling waves turn into its playful hair. "Hai Bao" means Shanghai's treasures, and also represents the treasures from all over the world gathered in Shanghai, which not only symbolizes the "understanding and communication" of the Shanghai World Expo , Gathering, Cooperation" concept, and also integrates the theme of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo of "Better City, Better Life".

Previous life: The sea embraces all rivers and embraces Shanghai

Looking at the cute and friendly image of "Haibao", you may not expect that it had an older brother before it was officially unveiled. In the World Expo mascot collection office, a "Dabao" with a slightly different image from "Hai Bao" was the original prototype of "Hai Bao". It was in the design work with the "big character" as the human form and the theme of "Embracing Shanghai" On this basis, we have the "Hai Bao" we see today.

A three-dimensional "big" character is dotted with eyes, and a smiling mouth is added. One side is like an open embrace, and one stroke is like running legs. The most adorable thing is, The curls at the ends of her hair were raised slightly, making her look like a playful elf. Dongfang.com reporter learned that in the original idea, this image was in the shape of a human with big characters, always smiling, and the patterns on the body could be presented in any combination of images or individually, "it is a unique mascot."

“The sea accepts all rivers, so it is big. It is broad and profound, and it is big when it is tolerant.” This is the origin of the name “Dabao”. After this plan stood out from 26,655 works, it went through nearly three months of modification and improvement, and finally formed the lovely and friendly "Hai Bao" image today.

Inspiration: the perfect combination of water and people

So how did the final plan change from the "big" font "Dabao" to the "human" font "Hai Bao" Woolen cloth? Shao Longtu, a famous designer who participated in the final revision of the plan, solved the mystery of "Haibao"'s life experience for Oriental.com reporters.

“People are the core concept of this design.” Designer Shao Longtu said that using Chinese characters to interpret the spirit of the World Expo was the original intention of the design. After finding the fusion point of “people”, all problems were solved. "The big sign represents the city's hardware, but it lacks flexibility and care for people. The only regret of the original designer is that there is an extra stroke." Mr. Shao replaced the horizontal line in the word "big" with the double "Haibao" The arms, when spread out, are "big", but the ones they stand on are "people".

As for the choice of color, "Haibao" also gave up its original colorful appearance and used pure blue to symbolize the children of Shanghai, expressing the quality of "goodness is like water" and the tolerance of the sea. "Hai Bao" is a combination of the two concepts of people and water. The care for people, the character of the sea and its warm arms demonstrate the significance of China's integration into the world.

Mr. Shao explained that the theme of the World Expo is "Better City, Better Life", and once a human character is added to this sentence, the meaning becomes richer. "Cities are about making people's lives better, and the meaning of the World Expo is the harmonious coexistence between people and nature, people and society, and people." People are also the carriers and communicators of love. With people, there will be Love makes the world warm and harmonious.

Since the global collection of mascots on January 17, 2007, design works from 21 countries on five continents have continuously gathered in Shanghai. Today, the "Hai Bao" stands out from these 26,655 works. Finally made a "stunning" appearance. Starting from December 19, on the 100-square-meter poster on the subway platform, the grinning image of "Haibao" meets the public; on the 1,000-square-meter billboard on the Yan'an elevated highway, "Haibao" opens his arms and says to the world, "Hi, Hi." China's 2010 Shanghai World Expo mascot "Hai Bao" will become the new darling of Shanghai and the world.
