Fusion embodies the meaning of blending and integration, and echoes the furnace in the emblem of IChO2022. Among them, change and creation are the essence of chemistry, reflecting the important role of chemistry in the process of world evolution and development.

Students from five continents gather in one event and compete together. The colors of the Olympic rings are used to color the auspicious clouds, symbolizing the inheritance of the International Olympic spirit. As to the auspicious clouds, there is an old Chinese saying，‘the meeting of wind and clouds.’ which is a metaphor for a capable person meeting a good opportunity, to express that this event is a great opportunity for leading young chemical students from all over the world to display their talent. The seal,which is a traditional Chinese cultural symbol, serves as the symbol of the host country, and pays tribute to the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. The furnace represents the origin of chemistry and pays tribute to the International ChemistryOlympiad held in Beijing in 1995. Alchemy is the earliest chemical application in China.

The emblem is composed of a blast furnace, a seal, a few auspicious clouds, Olympic rings and other elements. On June 10, the Organizing Committee of the 54th International Chemistry Olympiad held a press conference to officially release the emblem, slogan and mascot.
