FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
YF: The city of Huade was once an important military base for defending China's northern frontiers. Abandoned military facilities can develop military experience and tourism industries, promote urban economic development, and increase the popularity of city. The design is inspired by a button.
FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
YF: Button is closely related to the military. The pause and start symbol means that people suspend their busy work, give themselves a vacation, and start the journey of the Huade military experience. The combination of the pause and start symbol and the pentagram is the English abbreviation HD of Huade. The five-pointed star is part of the banner of the Chinese army and part of the military epaulets. Huade will always remember and pay tribute to the heroes who defended the country during the war.
