Many of the iconic Olympic symbols, landmarks, artifacts and installations seen at the ongoing Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games were designed by artists from Tsinghua University.

During director Zhang Yimou's romantic visual feast, the opening ceremony of the Winter Games, a giant snowflake installation formed by smaller snowflakes was revealed, while every national team was led by a snowflake-shaped placard. The snowflake concept was the core vision of Zhang's show. 

Li Min and Song Chen, both graduates from the Department of Visual Communication of the Academy of Arts & Design at Tsinghua University (AADTHU) and current China Daily employees, participated in designing the snowflake for nearly three years.
