The design symbolises the main building structure of Macao Science Center in a three dimensional perspective that can also be completely drawn by a single stroke of line. It demonstrates the Center’s role in promoting the public understanding of science through showing both the external phenomena and the internal principles. The symbol not only resembles a scroll being rolled open signifying the dissemination of knowledge, but it also creates an illusion in our visual perception by forming an ambiguous image with both views. The design possesses additionally an ascending node with both a right-handed and left-handed spinning outlook, depicting the multiple view points in the advances and application of science and technology that the Science Center features. The principle colour chosen was a gradation from green to blue. The green colour represents life while the blue colour is associated with the ocean that harbours the development of life on Earth. The gradation from green to blue illustrates the complicated balance and dependency between life and ocean that we treasure and must carefully preserve.
The logo of Macao Science Center is selected from 635 participating designs of the Macao Science Center Logo Design Competition organized by Macao Science Center Limited in the end of 2007, together with Chinese, Portuguese and English fonts and decorations added by plan designer assigned by Pei Partnership Architects.
