Summer Olympic Medal Forms And Trends Of Design

Since the modern Olympic Games from 1896 originated, Olympic Games has developed into a global sporting event. As one of the visual system, Olympic Olympic medals, not only implies the Olympic spirit, but also the human history and culture of various ethnic groups concentrated reflection. Olympic medals has become a unique Olympic culture. The idea of writing this article is: through analysis of previous manifestations of Olympic medals, their history and development of the design have an accurate understanding of the design of an Olympic medal and then summarize the laws and concepts, and finally explore the development trend of future designs.Based on the uniqueness of the Olympic medals as the breakthrough point of the research design, with 30 modern summer Olympic medals as the research object. Using the literature material law, the Olympic Games concept, the origin of the Olympic medal in summer and do detailed introduction stage, make people clear and intuitive know summer Olympic medal from the surface; Using comparative analysis method, studies the summer Olympics medals in positive and negative forms of difference and national cultural differences, reflecting the summer Olympic medal deeper meaning, design principle and design to make it more appealing. Using the method of logic reasoning, trying to explore conjecture design concept and the development trend of the future summer Olympic medal, further enrich the Olympic medal design research. Research shows that the modern summer Olympic medals in the four stages of development, and in each age stage with its unique design concept; Summer Olympic medal design rich in facade design, on the back of the future will be more representative graphic elements; The material of summer Olympic medal will change from simplification to diversification, and the Olympic spirit and national culture characteristic is composed of medals design idea of two factors. As an important carrier of the summer Olympics medal culture, while fully carry forward the Olympic spirit, filled with the national culture, push human civilization.In this paper in order to make people have a more correct knowledge and complete understanding for the purpose of the Olympic medals, hope can do some help of our future reference and guidance in the medal design.
