Apus Nipalensis and the Library Logo |
|
The house swift has a strong association with the Library, with the eaves of University Library home to the largest colony in Hong Kong. Have a look at our Facebook page for some videos of the swifts' and their nests. Given this close connection, a swift was the obvious choice for a new Library logo, designed to stand out not just on paper but also on the screen. We have used the University purple colour and the design visually mimics a tradition Chinese seal, aiming to embody the University motto of linking tradition with modernity, and East with West.
