ABSTRACT
Around alleys and streets of Taiwan, it’s easy for us to see architectures, patterns, statues, and names of Buddhism as well as posters, fliers, advertisements, and ceremonies. Marks of Buddhism organizations had been originated during the period of lifting a curfew. The prime purpose was for the Buddhism organizations to distinguish their services from each other and to expand their organizations. Therefore, Marks of Buddhism arose and made “Buddhism” a common language. With the new elements of Marks and dowering with meanings and symbols, it turns out to be the Marks of Buddhism for the operation of the organizations.
The main function of a mark in general speaking is to deliver its unique concept and purpose. It is a dogmatic product of a designer with his/her personal idea and interpretation. It needs to be used by the public over a long period to create a visual effect and have common experiences to approach the goal. The Marks of Buddhism organizations are based upon the assets of Buddhistic cultures such as language, characters, patterns, ceremonies, etc.
The focus of this research is to interpret the crypto-code, the doctrine, and the concept from the design of the Marks of Buddhism. It is to treat about the structure of the original language of those Marks of Buddhism and the conclusions are as follows.
1. In the construction of the Marks of Buddhism, the much the Buddhistic elements, the more distinguishability, but the weaker creativity.
2. The structure of the Marks of Buddhism is to intercept symbols from different systems of materials then combine them to create the meanings.
3. To conclude the formats of interpretation to the Mark of four outstanding Buddhism organizations -- Chung Tai Chang Monastery, Fo Guang Shan Monastery, Dharma Drum Mountain, and Tzu Chi Foundation -- based upon the theory of Peirce’s Semiology.
