14.01.2022 PART 1 : Behind our new logo // At the core of any identity is a unique central theme. Our new logo needed to represent the core nature of our organisation: independence, communication, and community. Independence is about making your own choices, having control over your life and being able to live in a way that is meaningful for you. INDEPENDENCE: Represented by a simple circle, it represents the individual, family or organisation living and working independently.
