Design Concept:

The overall shape integrates the three images of an eyeball, gears, and a mechanical watch dial. The eyeball symbolizes the academy's keen insight into the data world, continuously scanning cutting-edge dynamics with a global perspective, focusing on core issues, and exploring the essence of data science. The gear structure reflects the internal collaborative mechanism of the academy, where various professional directions and teams of teachers and students mesh and operate like precise gears, driving efficient academic research and teaching practice, providing core power for the sustainable development of the academy. The dial imagery signifies that the academy accurately guides objectives like the hands of a clock, leading the exploration process in the data field and functioning like a mechanical dial that continually operates and progresses, witnessing growth at every stage through constant self-iteration. The outer and inner gears form a "dual-drive" structure. The inner gear is composed of the abbreviation "SSDS" of the academy’s English name "SCHOOL OF STATISTICS & DATA SCIENCE," reinforcing identity recognition. The central graphic integrates bar charts, globes, and network elements: the bar chart represents the foundation of statistics, the globe suggests a global landscape, and the network symbolizes the interconnected features of big data. The overall outline also resonates with the shape of the academy building, symbolizing it as a hall of knowledge. Economic thinking and data science intersect here, inspiring new research perspectives and solutions. The light of inspiration it radiates guides teachers and students to have dual perspectives, promotes research innovation, and disseminates knowledge to society, facilitating the development of related industries.
