From the very beginning. A hundred years of Kaohsiung, Kaohsiung 100.
The origin of the name change, the start of Kaohsiung's transformation, breaking free from the currents of history, the hundred years in our hearts will welcome different colors.
The design concept behind Kaohsiung 100's main visual stems from the Kaohsiung City emblem during the Japanese colonial era. In 1920, Kaohsiung Prefecture was officially established, and the name "Kaohsiung" first appeared in Taiwan's historical records. In 1929, the Kaohsiung City emblem was chosen through a competition. Japanese designer Kawaomoto Goho used the Katakana syllables "タ" (TA) and "カ" (KA) from the Japanese pronunciation of Kaohsiung as design elements, stacking them one above the other to represent Kaohsiung. This year marks Kaohsiung's centennial. This design cleverly incorporates the old Kaohsiung City emblem with the character "百" (bai, meaning hundred) from "Kaohsiung 100." It echoes the development of Kaohsiung over the past century, distilling elements from its historical context while looking towards the future. It aspires for the people living on Kaohsiung's land to carry their historical memories and join hands in embracing the next hundred years.
