English: IMPLICATIONS OF THE PLK LOGO
The emblem of the Po Leung Kuk was devised and adopted in 1951. It is in the form of a shield signifying the protection of the human body. The red characters with its white background denote the purity and enthusiasm of the heart. The circle embracing the name of the Po Leung Kuk shows perpetual cycles of advancement. The 36 beams of radiating light, corresponding to the zodiac signs of the heavens, imply the continuous prosperity of the Kuk.
