At the one-year countdown launch event for the 15th National Games and the National Games for Persons with Disabilities, and the National Special Olympic Games held on November 9th, the emblems and mascots for the 15th National Games and the National Special Olympic Games were unveiled. The designs were created by the team led by Liu Pingyun, who was also the chief designer behind the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics mascot, Bing Dwen Dwen. The team completed the design within five months. One of the highlights of the design is the choice of the mascot, which is based on the Chinese white dolphin, a unique species that best represents the Greater Bay Area.

To make the mascot more impressive, the team incorporated three small water droplets on the head of the mascot, each representing a different element: the red of the kapok flower from Guangdong, the purple of the Bauhinia flower from Hong Kong, and the green of the lotus flower from Macao. The two mascots are named "Xi Yangyang" and "Le Rongrong", and they will soon be made into products. Liu hopes that through variations in materials during production, the mascots will better reflect the spirit of the times and become beloved by everyone.

The design for the emblem went smoothly and centered around the themes of "unity, blossoming, and carnival." The three flowers in the emblem represent petals that come together in harmony, symbolizing unity and shared joy in the carnival. This reflects that the event is not only a display of athletes' passion but also a grand celebration involving the participation of the entire nation.

Overall, the designs of the emblems and mascots are both creative and meaningful. They reflect the unique characteristics of the Greater Bay Area while also showcasing the enthusiasm for nationwide participation. Liu's team completed this challenging task in a short time, demonstrating their strong design capabilities and professionalism. In the future, "Xi Yangyang" and "Le Rongrong" will become key symbols of the Games, leading everyone to join in this grand carnival.
