Crest
The college crest is formed from the initials of the college. The letter A, in the form of a yellow flame, symbolises the vitality and youthful aspirations of the students. The dark blue letters, J and C, supporting the flame, symbolise college support for the individual in his efforts to realise his ambition. The four circles at the base depict racial harmony, highlighting the college motto.[citation needed]
The crest was designed by Mr. Heng Eng Hwa in 1984.[citation needed]
