Visual Identity Elements
The visual identity of Lingnan University is an important asset of the university. It is more than a logo. This asset must always be used in its approved form and protected from misuse by assuring consistent, high-quality reproduction of the signature wherever it appears.
The University signature consists of two elements: the Lingnan emblem on the left and University name and location in Chinese and English on the right. The two elements should always be used together. The signature has two versions: a horizontal version and a centred version for different applications, specified at above and page 10.
Only the approved digital files can be used to reproduce the signature. These guidelines will help you reproduce the University visual identity with care, precision and consistency.

Meaning of the Lingnan EmblemThe 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 Pear 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”, symbolizing 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 .

Black and White Black and White – reversed
Acccompanying type (Chinese and English) is Pantone 8C if they are on a light background, and reversed white should only be used on dark or grey background.
The standards for PANTONE® Colours are shown in the current edition of the PANTONE® Colour formula guide. The colours shown on this page and throughout these guidelines are not intended to match the PANTONE® Colour Standards. PANTONE® is a registered trademark of Pantone, Inc.
Use actual PANTONE® chips. Do not attempt to match examples in this guide.
Standard Signature
The two elements of the University visual identity can only be arranged horizontally with the emblem on the left and the University names and location on the right. However, for certain situations that make the above layout impossible, the emblem can be put on centre above the University names and location. The spacing must follow the example on this page and p.10.
The normal colours for the emblem are Pantone 185C for the “Red” and Pantone Cool Gray 4C for the “Grey”.

Exclusion Zone – Lingnan Signature
The exclusion zone is designed to preserve the integrity of the logo, and must always remain free of text and other visual elements.
The exclusion zone should ideally have as much clear space as possible. Because this cannot always be the case, we have provided guidelines to ensure a minimum amount of space. Please view the diagram on this page, which defines the proportional values in relation to the width of the Lingnan emblem.
Minimum Size
The Lingnan University signature should never be reproduced at size smaller than the value shown in this page. The minimum size of the signature is 8mm in height for print and 30 pixels in height for digital. There is no maximum size limit, but use discretion when sizing the logo.
