Words from Editors - Mar 2012

Greetings! This is Sora, the Creative Editor of Psycholic. In our Issue 05, we are grateful to have new bloods, Jason Lam and Warren Adrien Tang, to take part in our editorial board. Jason will bring you the secret of mind-reading by his column Pickpocket, and Warren will share with you the world through his lens by Andrien Photography. As we are now under recruitment period, if you want to become part of us, kindly contact us through email.

Coat of Arms of Psycholic, designed by Sora Siu

As the Creative Editor, I am responsible for the layout of Psycholic and my column Psycovery. Psycholic is composed by two words, namely Psychology and -holic, showing that we all are enthusiastic at Psychology. The logo of Psycholic is a kind of coat of arms. The use of colour for the field is azure (blue) as an allusion to wisdom and the planet Neptune which reflects creativity and curiosity, and also its same astronomical symbol as the symbol of Psychology. On the chief of the shield, there is a book of Psychology and a book of our Psycholic. The cross of quill pen and ink pen on the middle means that we are delivering knowledge from the literature to general public and it covers from old to new studies. On the base, the checker style of Greek letter psi in various colours with the ring surrounded represents our diversity in content and editors’ connection through Psychology. The motto of our arms in Latin is “Psychologia Fovendam” denoting “Promotion of Psychology”, which is our aspiration.

I am sincerely appreciative to have your supports and encouragements on our production which are of a great importance for our improvement and motivation. Hope you enjoy reading Psycholic!
