In March, 2006, for celebrating the 110th anniversary of the university, the Office of University Anniversary Celebration released an announcement soliciting anniversary logo designs from inside and outside the university. The solicitation has drawn great attention not only from faculty, students and alumni of the university, but also people from various circles in the country, and totally 515 entries were received in the end.
Through careful expert evaluation, on-line polling, etc., the following design made by Qiming Liang from Zhuhai, Guangdong has been chosen as the official logo of the 110th anniversary of the university.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our deep appreciation for the efforts made by all designers. We are looking forward to their continuous support for the anniversary in the future.

PS: Logo of the 110th University Anniversary and its paraphrase
The logo mainly adopts the Qiushi owl spreading wings at the center of the university badge with combination of revolving arcs. The arc combination stands out the allegoric theme of the 110th university anniversary celebration, and encircles the Qiushi owl that implies “Qiushi and Innovation”, the good tradition of faculty members and students. The standard colors continuously changing from red to yellow are full of lucky and festive atmosphere.
