Head of the 6th WTO Ministerial Conference Co-ordination Office Janet Wong on Tuesday unveiled the logo for the upcoming meeting in Hong Kong.

The new logo designed by Michael Miller Yu is for the so-called "MC6" meeting to be held in Hong Kong from Dec. 13 to 18 this year. It incorporates the WTO's familiar six strokes, surrounded with golden rays to form an image that looks like the number '6'.

The sunshine-like rays represent "hope, brightness and smooth sailing", reflecting Hong Kong's desires for the meeting, Ms Wong said.

Every ministerial conference in the past had its own logo to present a unique and distinct image of the host country or city.

The co-ordination office has issued an expression of intent to about 700 design firms and designers, asking for submissions of interest in undertaking the logo design work.

The colorful logo selected by the office will be used to promote the upcoming meeting and decorate the Hong Kong Convention&Exhibition Center meeting rooms that will house the MC6.
