Story of Naming “Poly”
In 1983, a joint venture trading company was founded by the PLA General Staff Department and CITIC, the president at that time, Mr. Xu Zhaolong gave the name of Poly to the joint venture company which Chinese means defending victory. The prefix “POLY” has the same pronunciation with the Chinese name, so it was used. The founders of the company, including Mr. Wang Jun and Mr. He Ping, etc., are the witnesses.
Poly’s logo “P” came from the first letter of Peoples’ Liberation Army, and with meaning of Poly and power, the transformative letter P was designed by Mr. Lai Weiwu and Mr. Wang Xiaochao in 1987 indicating a fist with the meaning of confidence and power. The hollow part of the logo indicates to grasp the time and aiming the future.
In 1993, the tenth anniversary of Poly company, President He Ping invited the famous calligrapher Mr. Qi Gong to write “China Poly Group Corporation” in Chinese, with two kinds of Chinese letters, simplified and traditional. In November 1994, the Logo P and “Poly” was registered as formal trade marks in the National Industry and Business Bureau. 。
