Thanks Oiwan. Good points you make. I look forward to more people's comments. 

The logo was designed by our in-house designer at the JMSC, Matthew. He had made one other design but it looked too much like the CC license button itself, so upon consulting with Catharina we decided against it. However I think if we give him our feedback, we can ask him to make some more modifications to this logo or try other ideas. While the student project effort is a nice idea, I'm a little worried about the amount of time it will take, and who will organize this effort, and whether the time and effort of organizing it will take energy away from core launch planning - which we are already struggling to do well. 

Best,
Rebecca

i think we need to consider the logo with the toning of the website and other materials. for example, whether red and black is the major tone? if not, better change the colour. it is a good idea to incorporate CC into "Hong", however, it makes the chinese characters too big, while creative commons is like its decoration...

for the website purpose, perhaps we can just use CC-香港 first, and find time to discuss with the designer about hk cc's style, colour toning, etc. we can even ask ployU students to take it up as a project... their students will do researches, interviews and come up with various colour tone and designs for our choice. but of course it will take more time...

Hi all,

While we're creating the CCHK official website (if you can help to
write the content, please let me know!), we've come across the issue
of making a CCHK logo design. We've got a funny one here (attached
with this message). Please comment and we may use it on the website
(which will be posted here separately for comment) if there are no
strong disagreement and other suggestion.

The logo incorporate the Chinese characters "香港" into the original
Creative Commons International Logo.

Personally I think it looks nice ~ isn't it? :-)

Bests,
Ben
