The logo represents the combination of old and new, creativity, team work, innovation, sense of community, and leadership.
PLAY's logo is a wreath of eight
colors, with none of them being the traditional seven colors of the visible
spectrum or the three primary colors of the color wheel: red, blue, and yellow.
Instead, the colors of the logo are built of various combinations of the
primary colors. This symbolizes a blend of tradition and innovation, much like
the youth of America from immigrant families. These colors also represent
originality and creativity, traits valued in many fields. The wreath itself
symbolizes team work, which is a necessity in becoming a leader.
As for the peculiar shape of the
octagon in the center, the octagon shape is a symbolic architectural theme
representing regeneration, rebirth, and renewal. For example, an octagonal
house consumes light and heat more efficiently and withstands natural disasters
better than traditional houses, demonstrating innovation and energy renewal. Octagons
are also a symbolic theme in a variety of religions such as Buddhism, Judaism,
Taoism, and Christianity. Octagons bring people of various cultures and
religions together, much like PLAY's mission to raise political awareness and
instill a sense of community engagement in youth of all ages and backgrounds.
The three
people in the middle represent leaders, and 2014 is the year that PLAY Club was founded.
