The origin of symbols: the imprint of the age of steel

Back to the beginning of the last century, with the acceleration of industrialization, steel has rapidly become a key raw material for building the infrastructure of modern society due to its excellent physical properties. In this context, "ingot" was born as a very representative industrial product, and a unique "ingot symbol" was produced, which is used to represent the standard shape of metal solidification after melting.

According to historical records, the earliest steel ingot symbols appeared in the early 20th century. At first, they were rough, but they were soon given more formal sense and artistic value. As senior industry analysts say:

"This is not just a mark, it is a microcosm of the development of the entire steel industry, carrying the sweat and wisdom of countless workers. "

Ingenuity: A Brilliant Work

It is not easy to produce a perfect ingot. It requires a series of complex processes to achieve it. First of all, the choice of raw materials is extremely harsh, and only qualified iron ore can enter the next stage. Then there is the smelting process, which uses high temperature to melt iron ore into liquid state, remove impurities and then cast into shape. Finally, cooling, cutting and other steps are required until the finished product of standard dimensions is formed.

A retired technician who had been involved in the production of steel ingots lamented in an interview:

"The spirit of hard struggle in those years is still fresh in my mind. Every time I see the familiar symbol printed on the ingot I polished with my own hands, I feel extremely proud. "

Witness of the Times: Carrying the Glory of the Industry

In the past hundred years, China has experienced a historic leap from an agricultural country to an industrial power. And all this is inseparable from the support of strong infrastructure and advanced manufacturing technology. From the successful explosion of the first atomic bomb to the completion of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, and then to the smooth opening of the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, there are steel ingot symbols behind many projects that have attracted worldwide attention.

By comparing the photos of different periods, we can see that with the progress of science and technology and the development of social economy, these magnificent buildings have become more spectacular and beautiful in the process of continuous improvement and upgrading.

Design philosophy: simplicity but not simplicity

With the modern design concept gradually rooted in the hearts of the people, people pay more and more attention to the cultural connotation and personal emotional expression contained in the object itself. Therefore, it is necessary to reinterpret it on the basis of retaining its original characteristics. Through the fine-tuning of line proportion and font size, the new steel ingot symbol is more in line with contemporary aesthetic standards.

An internationally renowned design master said in an interview with the media:

"In my opinion, good design should have the ability to transcend time constraints and resonate no matter when and where. I believe that in the future, more outstanding talents will join in and jointly promote the development of this cause. "

Cross-border cooperation: Inspire unlimited possibilities

In recent years, with the vigorous development of cultural and creative industries, more and more companies have begun to seek deep integration with other industries. For example, some companies apply the ingot symbol to high-end furniture design to highlight the distinctive texture and style of the product; others give it as a special commemorative gift to partners or important customers to deepen each other
