Inspired by the traditional Sampan boats, this dynamic sail motif carries six rainbow colours and a grey hand—symbolizing humanity—gliding gently over twin-coloured ocean waves, embodying the theme Unity in Diversity. As GGHK’s Brand & Creative Director, I refined its form, colour balance, and responsiveness for digital, print, sport, and signage systems (2020–21).Colour palette & visual language
A vibrant yet harmonious mix celebrating Hong Kong’s cultural resonance and LGBTQ+ pride. The result: seamless application across digital channels, print, event environments, and activations.
