Colour Components
There are 3 main colours on the 2021 logo:
- Violet (#7d0dff; RGB: 125, 13, 255)
- Green (#00a500; RGB: 0, 165, 0)
- Blue (#0000ff; RGB: 0, 0, 255)

This means we need to keep calm and be patient to study and develop problem-solving skills.

My Logo 2021
My Logo 2020
Old Logo 2019
The 2019 logo is based on my name "Ken Deng" and my hobby (e.g. HTML, Internet).
The logo is followed by "Ken D", my full first name and the first letter of my last name, where K and D are used for HTML tags < and />.
The content in the HTML tag is the lowercase letters "en" which can be expanded as English, Enable, Engineer(ing), Engage, Ensure, etc.
It is similar to the Internet Explorer logo, where the orange line changed to a tunnel, meaning I like Internet (webpage) programming. The tunnel means I want to be successful for webpage programming.
Note: In each section, the first picture is white background. The second picture is transparent.
