Meaning of the Lingnan Logo The mountain, river, trees and path illustrated in the University logo each symbolise a profound principle: • The White Cloud Mountain depicts the highest aspiration in life; • The Pearl River represents the wide dissemination of Lingnan education; • The lychee trees - with ripe fruit hanging in clusters - represent the commitment to realise the precept “For God, for Country, and for Lingnan”; • The path represents the road to the future by virtue of hard work; • The panoramic view of the campus in the emblem ‘reminds alumni and friends of Lingnan of their loyalty wherever they may be. The red and grey colours of the emblem help nourish the sentiment; they are “blood-red and iron-grey”, symbolising loyalty and steadfastness. The red and grey reflect the Lingnan spirit, a spirit inspiring them to lay the foundations for a splendid future forever’1. Lee, Sui-ming.
