“ We propose a more userfriendly visual as the logo. ” Aim On the left is an existing shared O.T. logo for all the occupational therapy related community in Hong Kong. However, after analyzing the logo, we found that the logo is very much serving academic purposes, thus it is too formal to public and it is less humanistic. Therefore, we propose a more user-friendly visual for the occupational therapy department in Kwai Chung Hospital, which is shown next to the official O.T. logo.
“ Here I am, cheerfully embracing my fruitful story. ” Concept
Occupational Therapy, of course is a profession. In some ways, however, it is also a relationship and a partnership between the therapists and clients. The new logo communicates a point of view from clients themselves. Since, occupational therapy department is the gateway to new life outside the hospital, this man holding a ball represents the clients who is equipping themselves and presenting their journey of recovery to society.

Tree of goal “ The symbol of hope and encouragement. " Aim From the previous Tree of hope to the Tree of goal, from a wall painting to a 3D installation, the tree may become the ‘landmark’ of the occupational therapy department. We have combined the art piece and the wishes boards together to form this big Tree of goal. Clients, staff and even visitors may make a wish or write down their goals and hang them onto the tree. This tree will become the very symbol of hope and encouragement in O.T.D.

“ Everyday, these cards remind me of my goal and I am running towards it. ” Concept Together with the Tree of goal, we have made some stamps, as well as cards for clients to write down their goals. The card is basically blank, so it allows them to create their very own card cover with stamps. We write words on cards in usual practices, but now, we can use images as well. Since they have created their unique cards, it is easier for them to review their goals on the tree. Meanwhile, these cards may form a very beautiful picture right in the entrance. It also help enrich the positive atmosphere in O.T.D.

Patients can set their goal and hang it up on the tree in OT for encouraging themselves to achieving the goals. The tree of goal can also give patients hope for reintegrating to the community. By using tree as the key visual element, the environment of the interior space can become more nature, warm and spacious.
