Hi all,

Thanks for all of your valuable comments :-) I will send the designer
with the following notes and see if he have get even more idea. Will
also explore the possibility Oiwan suggested.

1) 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...
2) Too squared, may end up getting shrink in web design. A longer
rectangular shape is better
3) The word "Creative Commons" in red make the Chinese Character of
"Kong" not exactly below it
