The China Manned Space Engineering Office released the mission logo for the Shenzhou 16 crewed flight to the China Space Station:
The overall design of the scheme incorporates the mythical beast Kun in Chinese myths and legends. Kun flies extremely high, far, and extremely stable. It has the meaning of striving for the upper reaches and auspicious meaning.
Red and blue color scheme, the main pattern is that Kun is wearing auspicious clouds and swimming upwards to surround the space station. The space station stands tall in the cosmic galaxy; the golden-yellow Shenzhou 16 manned spacecraft is docked at the radial port of the Tianhe core module.
