Ke Alahou, Volume I, Number 6, 1 May 1980 — A Logo for the 'Ahahui 'Oihana [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

A Logo for the 'Ahahui 'Oihana

We wanted a logo to personify our hopes and aspirations while keeping ih mind that we are still a young organization. We found no better a symbol than in watching a youngster being taught by his father how to cast a fishing net. The boy was unsure of himself as he perched on a rock and right behind him his concerned father quietly watched iii eager anticip:ation.. Probably after a long time of watching his father and others fishing it was his turn to do so. We asked a friend of Ke Alahou t Evelyn Giddings, one o£the students of the great artist John Charlot and a great artist in her own right, to help us picture what had happened. This is our logo as it exemplifies what we strive for: an understanding between generations, the continuation of our culture andlanguage, and the hopes of a better future.
