Dragon Inspiration Behind Dragon Arctis Nova 7
The makers of Arctis, the most awarded audio line in gaming, SteelSeries, the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture, recently introduced the special-edition Dragon Arctis Nova 7 series headset. This is designed by a collective group of SteelSeries designers and product managers with Chinese and Taiwanese heritage. The Dragon Arctis Nova 7 honours their heritage and culture, the traditions of family gatherings and festivals, and the celebration of the new beginning of Chinese Lunar New Year 2024.
This design is centred around a Dragon, one of the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals, the Dragon icon has been sculpted with softer edges, giving it a more modern look. The Dragon’s body wraps around the Chinese character for “Dragon” and sits atop a stack of lucky clouds. Hidden beneath the Dragon that is emblazoned on the speaker plates, a circular version of the Chinese character for good fortune adorns the ear cups, while the headband takes the shape of a Dragon’s scales. The deep red colour-way symbolises prosperity in life and is accented with bold gold symbolising money and fortune.
