USE OF LOGOS BY POLITICAL GROUPS AND ASSOCIATIONS IN HONG KONG

M

1 WE UNDERSTAND (FROM VISITING LEGCO MEMBER, PETER WONG) THAT POLITICAL GROUPS AND ASSOCIATIONS ARE NOT GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO USE LOGOS DURING THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION CAMPAIGN. HE COMMENTED THAT THE USE OF A DISTINCTIVE LOGO WOULD SEEM TO BE A GOOD WAY OF HELPING TO ESTABLISH A CLEAR IDENTITY FOR THE DIFFERENT PARTIES IN THE MINDS OF THE PUBLIC, WHICH THIS IS ONE OF THE MAIN PROBLEMS FACING ALL THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED PARTIES.

2. WE ASSUME THAT WHAT PETER WONG SAYS IS TRUE. FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW THE THINKING BEHIND THIS, SINCE IT IS A POINT WHICH MAY BE RAISED AGAIN WITH US BY FUTURE VISITORS FROM HONG KONG.
