The Library Badge
 Connecting modern ideas, the design of the badge for Sun Yat-Sen
Library of Guangdong Province reflects the
essence of Chinese
traditional culture.
The badge develops from Chinese character "井" (well).
The original meaning of "井" (well) is "a deep hole to get
water", which now in the badge design means
that library is
the knowledge source of human being.
In this pattern, the square and round are fixed together which
symbolizes that different cultures and civilizations
are expressed comprehensively in Sun Yat-Sen Library of Guangdong Province.
Chinese character "井" (well) looks like opening books, which fits the status of the library. Symbolizing the
body of Sun
Yat-Sen Library of Guangdong Province, the rhombus in the middle
of the pattern gives some
changes for this design.
From modern civilization, the pattern can be interpreted that
library is the bridge for people seeking knowledge.
From modern technology, the pattern can be interpreted as
information center and network leading to all
directions.
For the color, blue represents the ocean of knowledge while
green as vigorous life and hope of human being.
Matching the pattern and color, the badge forms a strong vision
impact with the characteristics of easy to be
read, identified
and remembered.
