About the New Logo & Artist
We have a new logo we are so excited to share!
We received many incredible entries to our recent logo competition. The selection committee had a difficult task! Together, the committee reviewed anonymous designs and after careful consideration and discussion, we arrived at two designs – the Anchor and the Open Clam Shell, both created by Danika Naccarella!
The Anchor is a great design that aligns with our marina and business and the Open Clam Shell highlights and represents our traditional use of the area at Ḵ̓wax̱wa̱lawadi and the shell midden adjacent to the marina, connecting to Kwikwasut’inuxw ways of life since time immemorial.
