Our Municipal Logo

What informs and inspires the logo

The significance of the logo

The logo designs drawn from our Provincial and District symbols. They seek to include all, whilst representing and cementing the authority of the District Municipality. Other sources of motivation and inspiration used and considered are symbols that are established and relevant to our history and Heritage, as well as symbols that stand for and seek to promote unity in the District.

Key to the various sources of inspiration was the adoption and use of elements that are relevant and appropriate, to take forward the District Municipality. This will give the District a new and refreshed identity.

District Heritage

Incorporating symbols that reflect the rich cultural diversity and historical significance of the Harry Gwala District.

Unity & Progress

Symbols chosen to promote unity among all communities within the district and to represent forward movement and development.
