ABOUT THIS YEARS LOGO

The choice of blue and orange for this logo reflects the core values and vibrant spirit of the Kinaway community.

Blue symbolises strength and cultural continuity, emphasising the enduring resilience and rich heritage of Aboriginal peoples. It represents a steadfast connection to history, tradition, and the collective identity that has sustained communities through generations. The use of blue also conveys trust, stability, and confidence—qualities essential for leadership and progress in business.

Orange, on the other hand, embodies energy, resilience, and vibrancy. It reflects the dynamic and forward-looking nature of Aboriginal communities as they innovate, grow, and shape the future. Orange signifies the passion and enthusiasm driving Aboriginal entrepreneurs and leaders, highlighting their ability to adapt, thrive, and inject vitality into their industries and communities.

Aligned with the theme of "Celebrating the Future of Aboriginal Business Leadership," the colour palette underscores a harmonious balance between honouring cultural roots (blue) and embracing the energetic momentum towards future success (orange). Together, these colours visually encapsulate a community that respects its past while actively building a vibrant, resilient, and innovative future in business.
