NUS Harmonica Orchestra Logo

The logo as a whole, with the colours of fire, takes a "torch" form, and represents the dynamism of the orchestra.

The logo is made up of 2 pairs of crescent-shaped cusps, each pair representing the postures of the hands when playing the harmonica.

These also depict the willingness of the members to work "hand in hand" to take the orchestra to greater heights.

The crescent shape cusps signify the young orchestra.
