ABOUT THE QSIC LOGO
|
The logo contains the stylized letters Q and S. |
|
|
The letters are formed by ticks, the usual symbol for quality assurance. |
|
|
The logo also symbolizes the movement towards quality and integration |
|
|
The acronym "QSIC" reminds us of the high quality and strength of Cu-SiC, a ceramic reinforced metal. |
|
The QSIC logo was designed by Prof. T.H. Tse. |
