Logo Concept
The emblem’s design is based on the ancient Chinese cosmological concept of “Round Sky, Square Earth”, representing the ideal of a harmonious, balanced existence.
The “Square” symbolises inner values: maintaining one’s principles, integrity and sense of justice. The “Round” denotes the way a person should treat others: with generosity, consideration, and the flexibility to accept differences. The Buddhist Pine within the design symbolises perseverance, virtue and sustainability, each of these qualities resonating with a core value of the Prize, while the Chinese calligraphy it bears was written by Dr Lui himself.
