We're Looking For A Logo For Chinese New Year, It's The Year Of The Horse

[AB Editor]

We're thinking this is probably the best way to combine horses and dragons:



Or we could go for this:



Which is, at least, "authentic" - even if no one will be able to tell what it is in the logo..

Why bother? That pictorial nonsense (which people insist on calling a "logo") is a complete waste of effort, IMO. I never even look at it. Pointless.

//You always celebrate Chinese new year's with a dragon.// Where is that in the Chinese book of New Year Etiquette?

The dragon, apart from being one of the zodiac animals in the Chinese rotation of animals, is generally symbolic to wealth and fortune, in that it is part of the New Year as it's association of fire and noise is all part of it - however it is not the core of the New Year as it isn't the chosen animal this year. So my advice is to show the horse. There are some good ones to choose from, particularly the 'wood horse' which 2014 represents..... http://thirdeyeactivation.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/chinesehorse.jpg

Haha only just seen this thread and I'd been thinking all along that the new logo was a skier going down a slalom to represent the coming Winter Olympics

Don't Chinese dragons and horses look the same?
