Haven House selects new logo
by Michael Armstrong
The organization formerly known as South Peninsula Women’s Services has chosen a new logo to go with its new name, South Peninsula Haven House. The logo, designed by Homer artist Robert Walsh, was unveiled this week.
The design of four colored ribbons, three circles and a Celtic knot came about after Walsh had made several suggestions of designs with a peace crane and a house. Peg Coleman, Haven House executive director, said she had been looking at looped colored ribbons arranged together and realized the design evoked a Celtic knot. Coleman asked Walsh to explore that idea. (…)
The three circles stand for the individual, the family and the community. Each colored ribbon symbolizes one of Haven House’s concerns. Purple is for domestic violence awareness. Teal is for sexual assault awareness. Mint-green is for child abuse and neglect awareness.
And the white? It stands for the white ribbon campaign, for men ending family violence — a program Coleman said Haven House plans to launch in Homer. The intertwining of the ribbons speaks to the effects of domestic violence on children and includes men in the movement to end violence.
