Our logo encompasses a square, and most of our artwork and branding are in the shape of a square. The square represents the earth and being stable. It helps to see a direction to start in, to help get out of their confused state. The square can symbolise foundation, and be an influence that can ground people and make them feel more stable and dependable. It can represent basics, structure, and balance. The square will symbolise community, integrity, direction, and being practical and elemental. Its straight lines and right angles symbolise order and being rational. It also represents being peaceful, solid, and equal.
We hope to share HKers’ love for their city, to show the world what they aim to build as a community, and to bring positivity and hope to the citizens of Hong Kong.
