To understand the meaning of the HarmonyOS logo and animation, you must have to understand the word Hongmeng OS which is the Chinese name of the HarmonyOS

Meaning of Hongmeng:

The history of HarmonyOS starts with the Chinese word “Hongmeng”, which means the “primordial chaos or the world before creation” it also means, “beginning after chaos”. This is the name of the project when it was first mentioned in the development phase.

Meaning of the O and Underline Dash:

Regarding this, the HarmonyOS UX developer came forward and gave some useful clarification on the HarmonyOS name and its boot animation.

According to the designer, the Chinese character “Dan” first appeared in ancient oracle, and the original appearance of Dan is derived from the sunrise on the horizon. So, Huawei made the O of HarmonyOS to reflect the sunrise and the same behavior as the Dan, or should we say it, Dawn (in English).

Going back to the Chinese ancient mythology, the appearance of the HarmonyOS logo, tell the meaning of the first opening between heaven and earth, and the departure of darkness, with the arrival of light.

Horizontal Line:

The horizontal line below the ‘O’ painted dark blue because the blue horizontal line symbolizes the deep blue in the universe, and is also the spatial color of the entire HarmonyOS. Furthermore, HarmonyOS also carries the meaning of everything in the universe.

Although Huawei has decided to go with the HarmonyOS trademark (in English) but it incorporates the connotation of Chinese style, which is a perfect combination of Chinese and foreign ideologies.

This combination also symbolizes a community with a shared future for mankind, insisting on international cooperation and persisting in making outstanding contributions to human society.
