Symbolism

Mr. Kiang graduated from Trent University, which uses an emblem based on the arms of the City of Peterborough. These both contain a wavy central stripe (fess) of wavy white and blue. A wavy fess is selected to represent not only a connection to the University but also the Chinese meaning of Kiang, “River”. The red hexagons with gold edges create a honeycomb design. The gold edges can represent the network pathways of computer connections, whereas the red spaces can be interpreted as cells. Mr. Kiang studied anthropology and computer studies at University, after which he has operated as a Technology Consultant. The cell structure represents not only the intelligence in the brain cells which join together to form the human mind, but also human rights by observing that each person has rights when networked with others. In addition, it can be interpreted as meaning that even though things might separate people, at the core people are the same.
