THE LOGO OF OIA

The Concept
In the center of our logo is National Taiwan University's representative Fu Bell, surrounded by the palm trees that line the main campus road, with the university library behind. The bell is a reminder of personal discipline and unending enlightenment. The palm trees symbolize continuous growth, exceptional vision, and unwavering willpower. The earthen shape of the logo represents internationalism, while the university's logo inspires color and content. This means not only NTU and the diverse, inclusive, and friendly environment for which OIA strives.
