This morning we had the 2022-23 RI Presidential Theme logo launch by RI President-elect at the 2022 Virtual International Assembly’s Opening Ceremony: Imagine. Rotary.
This was designed by an Australian indigenous artist to link with the Melbourne convention in 2023.
The elements have multiple meanings.
Circle - connections to one another
Dots around it - Our People
There are 7 Dots because of our Rotary’s 7 areas of focus
Circle + dots around it - Navigation star, our guiding light
Green solid line - digging stick (used when doing hard work); for us it’s People of Action, representing the tools for getting things done
Colours: Purple, Green & White -
Celebrate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Freedom to express ourselves differently but still with a special connection
Purple - Polio
Green - the Environment
White - Peace
Represents Empowerment and Newness and also the colours were utilised for the women's movement giving us the opportunity to grow our female membership. This theme is to be used from July 2022.
