Our logo symbolises our missions and our vision. It represents the coming together of disparate communities; each arrow represents a disparate segregated community. The central dithered X represents the conduit, the nexus through which each of these communities is connected. The dithered X represents the role of Nexus acting as a conduit through which disparate communities can be connected. Each one of the four arrows also represents one of our core focuses of Advocacy, Education, Empowerment and Unity. |
