The 80^th Anniversary of Beijing Foreign Studies University

Announcement No. 2

Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) is celebrating its 80^th anniversary on 26 September 2021. We appreciate extensive attention to and support for our preparation work from BFSU teachers and students, alumni from home and abroad and the general public since we released Announcement No. 1. We are now announcing the official logo for the event and the channels for donations.

I. Official Logo

We appreciate the large number of responses we have received since we released a public call for designs of the logo and mascot for this event. Following a online vote, expert review, technical refinement and internal discussion, we are announcing the final version as follows:

The logo is derived from the number 80, with a human-shaped 8 standing at the gate, representing BFSUers who serve their home country whole-heartedly wherever they are across the world. The three-layer gate symbolizes our promising future, and demonstrates our vision of ever-lasting vigor and vitality. The three main colours – red, yellow and blue – merge with each other, indicating brightness and diversity. Red comes from our “red gene” as the first foreign language school established by the Communist Party of China, and shows our dedication to the Party; yellow and blue stand for the integration of the east and the west civilizations, and illustrate our school motto of “Inclusiveness, Diversity, Knowledge and Dedication”.

As we celebrate our 80^th anniversary, we are looking into the future with the same determination and dedication. Standing at a new historical juncture, BFSU will stick firmly to its mission of offering“internationalized, specialized, high-quality and general education”, and build itself into a world-class foreign language university.
