1. The general shape of the logo designed for this Association is a rectangle with a straight line running up and down the middle much like the Chinese character ‘中’ meaning “middle.” It is the first Chinese character in ‘中華民國’ the Chinese title of the Republic of China. The line in the middle is holding up the heavens while supporting the earth—it speaks of a rock steady, indomitable spirit.
2. The English letters‘C’ and ‘D’are located in the gaps located on either side of the centerline and connote ‘China’ or ‘Chinese’ and ‘Design.’ These gaps give the logo a spirit of dynamism and life.
3. The single color red (Y100 + M100) represents zeal, life, and joy.
4. Its overall design is clean, symmetric, visual, simple, bright, elegant, and modern.
5. Despite the fact that the logo has a history of 30 years, it gives one the feeling of perpetual newness and approachability.
