The birth of the FFAA logo

The FFAA logo takes the two letters, “F” and “A”, as the main part. “F” refers to Fudan, Fanhai and Finance while “A” refers to Alumni. Altogether the two symbolize that FFAA is a lifetime learning platform of solidarity, friendship, mutual help and mutual growth. Besides, the round shape of the logo also means being perfect and thorough, natural and harmonious. This indicates the peace-loving and tranquil spirit of traditional Chinese culture, as well as the organization concept of full circle, continuous reproduction, interconnection and win-win cooperation. The blue-golden color of the FFAA logo is consistent with the design of the school, with golden representing brightness and brilliance and blue representing reflecting thoughts and sedimentary cohesion. Hereby we wish each FISF alumni can remain true to their original aspiration after they step out of their school and keep exploring afar in the sea of learning and giving full play to their capabilities in work, embracing everything new and winning recognition of the world.
