Symbol: The logo is a combination of historical traces and legendary symbols: three circular lines simulating the three ramparts of Cổ Loa citadel, the image of a bronze arrow and the image of the Kim Quy god turtle. The image of three ramparts and three arrows resting firmly on the turtle's shell, not only contains the legend of building Cổ Loa citadel with the help of the magical turtle, but also carries the meaning of protection for the land. Cổ Loa in particular and for the Vietnamese land in general - protection comes from ancestors (ancient citadels, bronze arrows) and gods (magic turtles). Besides, the sophistication in placing the three arrows in a straight upward direction is an implication of the wish for a "peaceful country".
Symbols: The CO LOA font was designed based on inspiration from rare inscriptions in Chinese characters, found on the inside of the base of the Cổ Loa bronze drum discovered at the Mả Tre archaeological site. In general, the font with regular and hard lines shows the decisiveness of a military expert - King An Dương. The letters have a square shape with rounded edges, reminiscent of the structure of a solid citadel. The horizontally arranged letters are like a foundation, firmly supporting the symbol above it, making the logo harmonious and coherent.
Color: The logo is a harmonious combination of three colors: dark red, brown and bronze - the general color tone evokes a feeling of solidity and stability, while also bringing a quiet, ancient look.
- Red symbolizes the Vietnamese national spirit, and is also the color that brings prosperity.
- The earthy brown color reminds of the land of Co Loa, of the vestiges of Cổ Loa citadel, and is also the earth color - symbolizing longevity and sustainability.
- Bronze yellow color reminds of the historical story of the bronze arrow and the legendary Kim Quy golden turtle.
