Corporate
identity manual
The President recently appointed a Task Group for Corporate
Identity to establish guidelines and provide policies and procedures for
the use of the University Logo. The Task Group, chaired by Professor
Y S Wong, Vice-President (Administration), has produced a Corporate
Identity Manual, based on a study of the manner in which the University
Logo was used. The Manual establishes the main graphic standards, including
colours, typefaces in English and Chinese, sizes, etc, of the University
Logo for use in printed matter, stationery, signage, and other communications
channels.
The Task Group will coordinate
and oversee the implementation of the recommendations in the Manual to
develop and maintain a consistent brand image. The implementation date
is 1 September 2004. The Manual has been distributed to all departments/offices.
