Tactical Graphic Design - The Year of The Boar
Asian Cultural Symbol:
The Year of the Boar — 2007
Also See:  Monkey  Horse  Goat  Rooster  Dog  Boar  ::  2007 Astrology
Symbol designed for Chinese New Year
This symbol was designed as an annual promotional item for the Chinese market.
2007 is the year of the Boar or Pig.  This year’s design was prompted by the birth
of a two-headed piglet in China just prior to the new year. [Story below]
Generally this was seen as a very good omen and therefore dictated the design.
Being that the event was so positive, the Chinese characters for Love, Luck, Health
and Prosperity were added to the Chinese coin.
The year of the Pig represents ‘fertility’ and doubly so with the birth of the piglet.
Therefore within the center image (in red) is written ‘fertility’ in two directions to
imply the ‘double’ fertility omen!
Its a two-faced, four-eyed pig
Thursday, January 18, 2007
The  birth of this two-headed pig in China is
being hailed as a miraculous conception by the
farmers.
The pig is widely seen as a symbol of fertility in
China. And, what with 2007 being the Chinese
Year Of The Pig, the unique porker is
considered to be a blessing … Double Fertility
in all things. Although, of course, it won't
actually be the year of the pig until February 18.
The two-faced porker weighs in at 1.5
kilograms, comes with 2 mouths and 4 eyes,
and was born in the small village of Quanzhou
in East China's Fujian province on January 15.
