The logo
In 2007 the National Parks Authority ran a competition to design a logo for the new organisation. The competition was open to teenagers and children, with first prize of $500. The winner of the logo competition was Afeno Haynes. The logo features a whale, bird and leaf surrounding a petroglyph figure, all held up by a hand. It shows the interconnectedness of nature, history and society, and the need for us to care for our environment and heritage.
