The
Logo
- The Red Crescent Society’s new logo looks
plain yet striking at first glance. But
there’s more than meets the eye. We consider
ourselves (the society’s members) as young
and vibrant. We tend to perceive things
thoroughly with creativity and innovativity but
keep a solid barrier as not to let imaginations
run wild.
-
- Bearing this in mind, we made sure that the next
new logo should be artistic yet simple and
meaningful. The whole structure of the logo
consists mainly of a crescent, the letter R and
S, the acronym for ‘Persatuan Bulan Sabit
Merah’ (PBSM), a cursive form of the name
St. Andrews and two streaks of the colour red and
black running down the whole length of any thing
this logo is set on.
-
- We tried to make sure that every component on our
logo is meaningful. The Red Crescent has always
been known as our society’s emblem
throughout the whole world. The capital letter R
and S together with the crescent spells our
society’s English acronym RCS. Anyone would
have noticed that whenever the black bold letters
of R and S overlaps the crescent, the overlapping
portions turns white. From this point of
perception, we can say that the colour black
means negativity; yet whenever it meets our
society (portrayed by the crescent, of course)
everything turns to the bright side.
-
- The other way we tried to project the key
features of our society is through the two lines
of colour. The colour black here is seen as a
hard, dead and ‘unfeeling’ hue, which
seems to suggest firmness and strength. Therefore
we concluded that this colour should stand for
solidity and unity. The other colour, red; which
is vibrant, eye-catching and powerful gave us the
inkling that it should depict our eveready soul
that is and will be forever alive in order to
reach our simple philantrophic goal and that is
to bring peace to every mortal that stands on the
face of the earth. Therefore the colour red means
alertness and the conquest in fullfilling our
supreme objective.
-
- There is also a thin white line that separates
the two bigger lines. This boundary stands for
truthfullness and the loyalty of our hearts in
order to bring the two features into one
wholesome objective to eleviate the sufferings of
mankind. And as long as the band of colours run,
so will we keep on continuing our ‘job’
in making this world a better place, forever!
