Some sources for ideas/inspiration, based on my liking : Architecture (modern) : 1. Bird's nest 2. CCTV tower 3. Water Cube (aquatic center) Architecture (old) 1. Great Wall 2. Temple of Heaven 3. Meridian gate - Forbidden city Other Symbols 1. Terracotta Army (though in Xi'an its an important symbol of Chinese history, I think) - my personal fav too. 2. The circular symbols [1] 3. The animals for each year - its a cheval this time, I think. [2] 4. Intricate pottery patterns 5. Symbols from scripts (such as kai [3] for 'open') Maybe we can pick a few to form a base for designs or randomly do design drafts and then vote. You can also add more ideas or +1 some of these.
