敬爱的湘雅校友:

在庆祝湘雅海外校友会成立十周年之际，我们荣幸地宣布最终评选出的湘雅海外校友会新会徽。

这个会徽是从我们过去三个月里收到的11份投稿中通过以设计者匿名方式由我们理事会投票和根据会徽的外观、含义精心选出来的。借此机会，我们对设计者所作的精彩工作表示衷心的感谢，同时也对参与设计的其他投稿者所付出的宝贵时间和精力表示诚挚的谢意。

这里附上会徽及其说明供大家参考。我们希望不仅大家能够喜欢这个会徽，也请常把我们的母校放在心里，继续为我们海外校友会做出贡献。

谢谢大家！

Dear Xiangya Alumni:

In celebrating the ten-year anniversary of the founding of Xiangy Overseas Alumni Association (XYOAA), we are very pleased to present to you the official logo of our organization.

The logo is carefully selected based on its overall appearance and meanings from 11 participating designs that we received in the past three months. These logo candidates were anonymously presented to our Board members for vote. We would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciations to the logo designer, one of our alumni, who did such a wonderful job! We would also like to thank all of those who have devoted their precious time and great efforts to designing the logos.

Attached is a pdf slide showing the logo and the detailed interpretations. We hope you will not only like it, but also keep the alma mater in your heart and continue to contribute to our alumni association in the future.

Best wishes,
 
Jason Ming Zhao赵明 (San Antonio, TX)

会徽中的建筑是常说的“湘雅红楼”，为湘雅医学院的标志性 建筑。“湘雅校友”下面是水波，象征“海外”。会徽选用深 红色，是为湘雅红楼的颜色。2002是湘雅海外校友会成立的年 份。

The architecture inside the logo represents the iconic “Xiangya Red Building”, which has been the symbol of Xiangya Medical School. Below “湘雅校友” are water waves, symbolizing “overseas”. The crimson color is chosen for the logo, as it is the color of the historic “Red Building”. 2002 is the year when the XYOAA was founded.
