The
logo of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology is in
several ways symbolic of the institution. Lyrically we visualize
the golden head of wisdom over the open book of knowledge. Between
the arms holding the book can be seen a flask representing science.
Alternatively, it is a transmission tower representing engineering
and technology or communication and management. We can also see a
sun radiating gold, that very traditional Chinese color, over an
ocean glowing with the deep blue representative of Hong Kong. Supporting
these emblems are the three Greek letters upsilon, psi and tau, that
is: transliterating
as UST. The logo entwines many meanings, as does the University itself.
