As a symbol of Chinese traditional culture, "fan" has a profound cultural heritage. Rhythms of harmony is displayed during opening and closing. The "fan shape", full of diverse humanistic aesthetics, is widely used in Soviet-style gardens, and is also a symbol of Wu area in southern Yangtze River delta. Rooted in water township of Wu area in southern Yangtze River delta, and moistened by the Soviet-style culture, Zhong Yi Feng is carving the essence of architecture with craftsmanship. Through reorganization of lines, the word "harmony" in the logo is evolved into abstract traditional and modern architectural styles, which not only reflects the rooting in tradition, but also demonstrates the unremitting efforts of pioneering and innovation in the breakthrough. The overall color of the logo is dark blue, which highlights the sense of stability; in the bottom of the logo is a touch of gold color, which means development for hundreds of years. Culture is the foundation, and harmony culture is the cornerstone of a continuous development of Zhong Yi Feng.
