The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design Celebrates its 60th Anniversary with Grand Opening Ceremony

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University School of Design (hereafter referred to as "PolyU Design" or "the School") has been an important hub for design education and research in Hong Kong, offering quality undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in design to nurture creative talent across a wide range of industries. To celebrate its 60th anniversary and the remarkable achievements of alumni, Designing Time — PolyU School of Design 60th Anniversary Celebration Featuring New PolyU Design Identity Launch & One to Ten Outstanding Alumni Exhibition Debut, was held at the Jockey Club Innovation Tower on the PolyU campus on 11 March. The grand opening marks the beginning of the 60th anniversary celebrations. Various guests gathered to show their support, and congratulatory messages from renowned design scholars around the world, including two former deans, the distinguished design academic, Professor Don Norman, were also featured, injecting transformative power into education and the design industry, thus preserving and transmitting design in various forms.

Grand Opening of PolyU Design Celebration with the New PolyU Design Identity Launch Marking a Significant Milestone for PolyU Design

In a world that constantly seeks answers, PolyU Design dares to keep asking the right questions. The journey of redefining PolyU Design's brand began not with words, but with a visual cue - a bold new logo designed by a team of young alumni - the graduates of 2022 and 2023, Jeff Chan, Chi Ho, Eunis, and Thomas, under the mentorship of an outstanding alumnus, Mr. Tommy Li. This logo, with its striking feature of an invisible 'i' in the word design, serves as a powerful catalyst for PolyU Design’s exploration into what truly defines them and forms the foundation of the ethos:

• Interdisciplinarity - Where disciplines unite, leaders are born. Our logo's boldness isn't just a mark; it’s a call for design students to take the wheel in innovation.
• Inclusiveness - Design with everyone in mind, benefits all. Our creations are universal, speaking to diverse needs and experiences. Our canvas is the world, enriched by the vast spectrum of humanity.
• Innovation - Design is humanity's heartbeat. Our creations marry imagination with utility, fusing entrepreneurial drive and sustainable practices to craft a future where innovation thrives in harmony with our planet.

One to Ten — PolyU Design Outstanding Alumni Exhibition Showcasing Ten Outstanding Alumni’s Various Design Creativity

To explore the diversity and evolution of design knowledge and to showcase the achievements and contributions of the ten outstanding alumni in the field of design, the "One to Ten — PolyU Design Outstanding Alumni Exhibition", themed “10 Forms (design diversity), 10 Transmissions (knowledge transmissions)," rethinks the foundation of design. The ten outstanding alumni are Mr. Tino Kwan, Mr. Eric Chan, Mr. Freeman Lau, Mr. Dennis Chan, Mr. Tommy Li, Mr. Anthony Lo, Mr. Alan Yip, Mr. Chu Chen-on, Mr. Barrie Ho, and Mr. James O Hing-pong. “One To Ten” highlights the variety of different design fields and the outstanding achievements of the 10 alumni in lighting design, product design, industrial design, architectural design, communication design, design management, automotive design, Chinese cultural design, brand identity design, etc. It provides a platform to showcase the alumni's creativity, talent, and impact, as well as the School's 60 years of excellence in education and academic accomplishments to a global audience and allows the viewers to experience the alumni's pursuit of aesthetics and professional skills.

理大設計慶典盛大開幕 全新視覺識別象徵理大設計的新一篇

在一個不斷尋求答案的世界，理大設計敢於詢問正確的問題。重新定義香港理工大學設計學院品牌的旅程並不是從文字開始，而是從一個視覺線索開始。由理大設計校友、知名品牌設計師李永銓先生帶領四位理大設計學院畢業生，分別為2022、23年畢業生陳傑夫、張志豪、廖玥婷及吳灝民，構思新的標誌及視覺識別。新品牌標誌以「設計」英文字中看似隱形的「i」為特點，引領我們發問並探索真正的定義，同時延伸到以3 個「i」為未來設計教育方向：

• Interdisciplinarity（跨學科）- 以跨學科教與學，培育明日領袖，鼓勵學生持續創新。
• Inclusiveness （共融）- 以所有人受惠為設計目標，滿足不同需求和體驗。
• Innovation （創新）- 以創作將想像與實用結合，融合創業動力與永續實踐，打造創新、與地球和諧共處的未來。

理大設計發佈全新視覺識別，象徵理大設計的新一篇，期望未來燃起更多的創意火花。
