Unveiling of Slogan, Emblem, and Mascots at 9th Asian Winter Games
The 9th Asian Winter Games, which are set to take place in 2025 in Harbin, China, have officially unveiled their slogan, emblem, and mascots. The grand sporting event will feature the “Breakthrough” emblem, along with mascots “Binbin” and “Nini”, and the slogan “Winter Dream, love among Asia”.
The unveiling comes after the acceptance of 4,608 applications from around the world, including 3,518 slogans, 760 emblem designs, and 330 mascot designs. The works were submitted by leading art academies, renowned design institutes, and various other sources.
The chosen slogan, “Winter Dream, love among Asia”, aims to connect Asian countries within the ice and snow sector, with hopes to create a new growth pole for the ice and snow economy and promote cultural exchange between participating countries. Additionally, the event is expected to serve as a link to promote cooperation and development between Asian countries.
The “Breakthrough” emblem features a short track speed skater, a lilac flower (the city flower of Harbin), and a solar icon of the Olympic Council of Asia. Meanwhile, the mascots “Binbin” and “Nini” are based on two Amur tiger cubs born in the Siberian Tiger Park in Harbin, which aim to inspire cultural vitality and tell the story of China.
The 9th Asian Winter Games are anticipated to be a significant event in promoting cultural exchange and cooperation between participating countries, and creating opportunities for the ice and snow economy. As the countdown to the games begins, the unveiling of the symbols and mascots is an exciting milestone in the lead-up to this grand sporting event.
