the Dove as an ancient messenger

We are grateful to the very gifted New Zealand based graphic designer Nikki McLay for creating our logo. The design draws on the Dove as being an ancient messenger, as well as a symbol of peace and promise. In our logo, she moves forward, behind it a tailwind symbolic of today’s technology and new innovations.

The color and tones evoke the midnight, mystery, storytelling-time, richness & magic of folklore yet also movement from sea/earth, sky up to universe and then infinite possibility. Each color represents aspects of our physical world.

Traditional storytelling has drawn inspiration from these elements, forming the symbols and metaphors used in fairy-tales, myth and legends of the past, as well as today’s art, news and science. These elements sit within a deep violet background - representing the mystery and wonder of our universe - and the keeper of our Voices of Wisdom.
