The S shape is the image of the homeland of love. Yellow is the color of mature rice fields and the skin color of Vietnamese people.
Three Red Figures
The three curve forward figures in red represent three regions of Vietnam: North, Middle, and South people – all marching forward, symbolizing the will of the Vietnamese people from all the generations who have striven for a journey of finding freedom. The red stripes of the logo are also meant to be a graphical representation of the Republic of Vietnam flag.
The Black Boat and The Eye
The symbol serves as a reminder of the Black April event, resulting in the mass exodus after the downfall of the Republic of Vietnam. People from all walks of life from many backgrounds (political, educational, spiritual, economical) yearned to escape eastward via the Pacific Ocean in search of a new life. This was the first wave of diasporas that subsequently led to other waves. The embodied eye towards the front of the boat signifies the meaning of life and speaks of gratitude to those who have died at sea as a sacrifice for the pursuit of freedom, in return for the lives of all the survived. The black refugee boat is in remembrance of the less fortunate people who were unable to land on the soil of freedom.
Comprehensive Logo
The comprehensive logo is designed with the philosophy of the organization in mind. The configuration of all elements on the boat, which together form a triangle sail, symbolizes that all immigrants have overcome challenges to deserve the freedom they now possess. The entire logo expresses the characters of the diasporas who carry with them their Vietnamese Heritage, transcendent nationality and strive to share, preserve, and educate the later born generations overseas of their roots.
