Our logo is a fern frond. Many indigenous cultures believe that the fern represents new life and new beginnings. A full fern frond is a symbol of growth and maturity, and a shoot is a symbol of rebirth and renewal. The hāpuʻu fern, which is endemic to Hawaiʻi, is a traveling fern. In the forest, a hāpuʻu fern grows strong and tall but may topple over due to weather, weight, or being pushed on by other plants or animals. After falling over, the fern base or "trunk" will lay on the ground. From that position, it will sprout new fronds and once again grow strong and tall. In its lifetime, it may travel 30+ yards, and serves as a symbol of resilience, movement, and growth in the face of hardship and external pressure.
