The HKBU 70th Anniversary Logo and Slogan Design Competition has concluded successfully with over 600 entries from our students, alumni, staff, and the general public. A heartfelt thank you goes out to every participant who so generously shared with us their creative ideas and designs.
The Competition’s judging panel was led by Mr Paul Poon, Deputy Chairman of the Council and the Court of HKBU, and comprised representatives of the University community. Based on criteria such as creativity, originality and relevance, the judging panel selected one Grand Award winner and two finalists respectively for the Logo Design and Slogan Design categories. The list of awardees is as follows:
By Leung Wai-yin
By Ng Kwan-ho
By Gorman Wu Chi-kin
By Wong Wei-lung
By Jeff Li Hok-lam

An award presentation ceremony was held on 1 November to celebrate the outstanding designs. Dr Kennedy Y H Wong, Chairman of the Council and the Court of HKBU, and Mr Paul Poon, Deputy Chairman of the Council and the Court cum Chairman of the judging panel, delivered remarks and presented the awards to the winners. Ms Christine Chow, Vice-President (Administration) and Secretary, and members of the judging panel congratulated the awardees at the ceremony.
At the ceremony, Dr Kennedy Y H Wong said, “These outstanding entries are the most thoughtful gifts for the University’s 70th anniversary. Not only will they become an important symbol for our journey towards a new milestone, but they also embody our shared vision for the future. Taking this opportunity, we will actively support the ‘Study in Hong Kong’ advocacy of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, attract outstanding students from around the world to Hong Kong to fulfil their dreams, and strive for HKBU’s future together.”
Mr Paul Poon commended the participants for their creativity and outstanding work. He said, “The entries were exceptional, which made choosing the best works challenging. These works showcased the incredible talent within the HKBU community and its supporters.”
Mr Wong Wei-lung, the winner of the Slogan Design grand award and a HKBU staff member who has worked at the University for 18 years, shared that his inspiration came from the design of the University Emblem and HKBU’s motto of “Faith and Perseverance”. “Winning this competition is deeply humbling because the slogan is not just a line; it is an invitation. It asks each of us—students, faculty, alumni, and friends—to carry HKBU’s spirit into the future by living out our motto every day: to believe deeply and to act resolutely. It also pays tribute to everyone who has built this community: those who taught and learned, who served quietly, who kept the faith and did the work,” he said.
The winner of the Logo Design grand award, Mr Leung Wai-yin, said he was honoured to be named an awardee in the competition and expressed his gratitude to HKBU for making the event a success.
Congratulations to the awardees!
