Do you reckon they designed it first and then worked out what it would represent?

She described it as an enormous cheese grater.
Reminds me of a Neumann Microphone in a golden colour.

I think they wanted to perforate the torch with holes to save money and settled on a symbolic number of 8000.

Indeedily, a gramatically incorrect tautology. Quite a feat.
You don't perforate with holes; you perforate with a stick, or a pin. Plus once something has been perforated, you don't need to worry about saying it has holes in it!

Yay!
By the way, you spelt grammatically wrong.
