Osaka Pavilion's logo
The Japanese city Osaka has unveiled a wave-shaped logo for its pavilion in World Expo 2010 Shanghai Urban Best Practices Area.
The logo features a Chinese character "大" which represents the first character of the Chinese name of Osaka. Chinese designer Wang Yiqin, who now lives in Osaka, created the logo.
The winning design was selected among 307 entries following a public contest concluded in early June. Judges hailed the design for its combination of Chinese culture and beautiful wave shape, which demonstrates the understanding of Osaka's theme "Advanced Environment City - The Challenge of the Water Metropolis."
The logo will be published on the Internet, as well as in promotional materials and posters of Osaka's UBPA case.
Meanwhile, Osaka Pavilion has launched a public search for artwork that will run through October 31. Winners will be awarded Expo 2010 tickets. Details are available at http://www.digmeout.net/osaka/.
Osaka will present a watery world at its exhibit that introduces its development of water transport and how it prevents water disasters.
The display will also involve innovative and sophisticated technologies designed to achieve a more comfortable life and a better environment.
