The logo was designed by Zhang Dalu, a teacher from the Suzhou University Arts School. His team employed concise images and colors to present a simple look.
The logo depicts two shuttlecocks, which represent the two trophies of the Thomas & Uber Cups. The shuttlecocks overlap to form a twin lotus and the shape of angel wings. Colored in green and blue (mountain and water colors), it represents an environmental friendly city and depicts the vitality and enthusiasm of the sports event.
Work on the mascot, anthem and slogan will start in July.
The 2016 Thomas & Uber Cups will be held in Kunshan from May 22 to 29, 2016.
Kunqu artist Zhang Jun racked up a new career achievement during his performance at the Modern Drama Valley festival at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on May 18, performing in a venue that is several times larger than what he is used to.
39 American travel professionals were given a two-day tour of the 2,500-year-old city from Sept 13 to 14, including visits to famous sights like Tiger Hill and Shantang Street, as well as chances to experience traditional Chinese art.
