Civil Aviation Department adopts new logo
The Civil Aviation Department (CAD) announced today (Tuesday) the adoption of a new departmental logo.
A CAD spokesman said: "The new logo is simple but meaningful. The gradual change of colour from blue to light blue and then white creates an impression of speed, while the logo itself has visual impact and produces a distinctive effect.
"By symbolising parallel runways, the design identifies the important role of the Civil Aviation Department as the provider of air traffic control services at the new airport."
During the transition from Kai Tak and subsequent to the opening of the new airport the CAD will continue to fulfil its responsibility as the regulatory body for civil aviation, particularly in respect of safety and aviation security matters.
"In this regard the logo expresses the letters 'HK' illustrating the department's commitment to a safe and efficient air transport system for Hong Kong," the spokesman added.
