National Emblem

The National Emblem of the PRC features Tiananmen Gate beneath the five shining stars, encircled by ears of grain and with a cogwheel at the bottom. The ears of grain, stars, Tiananmen and cogwheel are gold; the field within the circle is red, as are the ribbons festooning the bottom of the circle. These two colors traditionally represent auspiciousness and happiness.

Tiananmen symbolizes the unyielding spirit of the Chinese people in their fight against imperialism and feudalism; the cogwheel and ears of grain represent the working class and the peasantry respectively; the five stars stand for the great unity of the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Farmers are regarded one of the most important peoples in China as they grow crops and rice to feed the nation. In respect of the working class cog whell and grain are used on the emblem, and I might look at ways to incorporate such shapes into my design. Stars represents Unity of chinese people, that too might be incorporated into my design.
