Description
中文（繁體）：局徽意義說明：
本局局徽，訂定於一九五一年，是歲四月廿七日由華民政府司杜德司憲主持揭幕。局徽之取義：「以盾形象保衛人體安全；保良之白底紅字，象徵心地純潔，一腔熱血。圓周寓意循環不已。事業紹續演進，無有終極。圓周以外，光芒凡三十六，顯示本局事業光榮；且三十六度為周天之數，益證本局設施，本乎天理，正如朝陽在天，金光四射，為天地造育眾生焉。」
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.
