For the first time since its establishment in 1960, The Hong Kong Management Association unveiled a new brand identity signifying its commitment to advancing management excellence in Hong Kong and the region.
Officiated by Dr Dennis Sun BBS JP, Chairman of the Association; Mr Norman Chan GBS JP, Chief Executive of Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Guest of Honour of the dinner; Mr Alfred Chan BBS, Deputy Chairman of the Association and Dr Victor Lee, Executive Director of the Association unveiled the HKMA new logo at its 53rd Annual Fellowship Dinner at InterContinental Hong Kong on Tuesday, 26th November 2013. During the dinner, Mr Norman T L CHAN delivered a thought-provoking speech to around 500 members and guests of The Hong Kong Management Association.
Designed by the internationally renowned designer Dr Kan Tai-keung, the new brand identity symbolises an enhancement based on the Association`s respected long history. The letter "M" consists of two Chinese characters of "people", representing a spirit of cooperation and teamwork. The "people" is leaning to the letter "A", which signifies excellence. Blue as the main colour of the brand identity conveys a message of professionalism and credibility as well as continuous improvement and innovation. Emphasis has been put on the letter "M", which represents the "management development" as the fundamental mission of the Association.
