| The logo seems not so unexpected. The background color they chose, I think, is in the common sense. Cuz, in my view, red is best symbol color of china. In ancient china and even today, When people are in the joyous occasion to they like to express their mood by using red decoration. Such as couplet, lantern, candle and even the cover of a bride. Ancient Chinese people usually use red to paint their door hoping for good luck. Take another look at the gate of Peking university and the tian’an men architecture and u will find out. Red symbolizes the good luck and prosperity in many many ways in China. Red is CHINA RED. |
