I have a good idea, but it's too late... So we name it the Tower of Victory. Apparently, this is too Chinese, too traditional. Why can't we use an English name? Combining the first letters of "world" and "wisdom" in English (W), after decomposition and evolution, this W is exactly two successful Vs. Look at the appearance structure of Guangzhou TV Tower, which also includes countless Vs and Ws.
That's right, the name of Guangzhou TV Tower, orally speaking, is Double V Tower, namely the Tower of Victory, the Tower of the World, and the Tower of Wisdom. [Or the tower can also be changed to English.] As for other visual symbols and signs, they need to be handed over to senior designers for more scientific and appropriate design based on form and aesthetics.
Looking at the top ten rankings, regardless of the previous or the newly released naming, they are all similar with little difference. These names lack an international perspective and diverse thinking... Just naming the new tower based on its shape, region, or so-called urban culture clearly fails to truly reflect the significance and value of the world's tallest tower for Guangzhou and China. For China's national sentiment, China needs to imply its great power style and breadth, while also containing modern elements and requiring good name design.

Guangzhou TV Tower re-naming has come to an end again, and a new top ten list has been re-released. According to news reports, Nantian Pillar became the first choice in the re-naming process... When I say 'end again', others may understand it as current affairs, but this has already been a thing of the past long ago.
If we name it the Tower of China, it seems inappropriate from the shape and from a macro perspective, somewhat limited and petty. Guangzhou is not Dubai, and China is not the United Arab Emirates.
In fact, up to now, if all my above views are correct, then the naming of Guangzhou TV Tower becomes clear: one is to show the style of a great country, and the other is to combine modern elements.
Although it has been a long time, I still feel quite regretful inside.
I wonder if this is a good idea? Let it serve as another thought and opinion provided for the naming of Guangzhou TV Tower.
The first impression is that it feels like a place name or the name of a mountain body rather than a tall tower. Whether from its entirety, sound, shape, or meaning, Nantian Pillar appears to be an ordinary local name without stepping out of the country. It not only lacks the beauty of this graceful tower shape but also does not have the character enough to integrate into this international city, nor does it have the temperament and appeal of a world-class landmark building.
It can be said that Guangzhou TV Tower is not only the Tower of China but also the Tower of the World, the Tower of Wisdom, and even the Tower of Victory.
Its symbol is two Vs, and its connotation is the Tower of Victory, the Tower of the World. One represents the victory of Chinese wisdom, and the other represents the victory of modern technology.
In the near future, perhaps this ridiculous name will become a global laughingstock through the Guangzhou Asian Games.
If we name it the Tower of the World, some people might be impressed at first glance. Isn't this the Tower of the World? But I think it's too mediocre and vulgar, lacking unique characteristics beneficial for dissemination. However, this is indeed how it is perceived in the minds of the Chinese people.
In the future, will we tell drivers to take us to Nantian Pillar? Don't we find it strange and absurd?
Thus, my view is that from the currently displayed names, none of them meet the conditions and requirements I mentioned above. Guangzhou TV Tower represents the height of China, the height of the world, and also a powerful display of China's modern civilization and achievements. It is another masterpiece successfully showcasing China's strength to the world, and also a great victory of China's 5000-year-old civilization reaching the peak alone.
As a business card of China From EMKT.com.cn, as a powerful visual symbol and image of Guangzhou's international metropolis, from a brand perspective, the name Nantian Pillar is hard to produce any relevant or beneficial brand association with the above two meanings. This name will be a terrible disaster for Guangzhou TV Tower. For other multinational companies and brands about to move into Guangzhou TV Tower, this name will also make it difficult for them to support their image as globally leading brands and enterprises.
Nantian Pillar, is this going to be the name of Guangzhou's new TV Tower?
