Transport Department adopts new logo
Transport Department (TD) will adopt a new departmental logo from December 1.
A spokesman for the department said today (Saturday): "The new logo is designed and graphically derived from the Chinese character'', which literally means 'transport"."
"It is believed that the new logo would give the department a better identity and will reflect its work in the planning of various transport services for all Hong Kong people," he said.
The new logo is green in colour.
"The existing departmental logo was introduced in 1982. Its design was prepared by combining the initials of the name of the Transport Department, which has gone rather obsolete," the spokesman added.

A foundation stone laying ceremony for the training centre was performed by the Secretary for Security, Mr Peter Lai, this (Saturday) morning.
Located at Moreton Terrace in Causeway Bay, the centre is to replace the one at Hawthorn Road in Happy Valley. Construction of the three-storey building started in June this year.
In addition to offices and classrooms, the new centre will also comprise smoke chambers, tunnels, a rescue tower and a sport climbing wall to provide adequate training facilities for CAS members of the Hong Kong Region as well as induction training courses for new recruits.
