The story behind the logo

The logo for the Honiara Summit is more than just a design; it’s a symbol of Pacific unity, culture, and identity. Every element in the logo tells a story, representing the Pacific people's rich heritage, shared resources, and collective aspirations.

The Logo was designed as part of a logo competition, providing an opportunity for graphic designers and artists to share their creative representation of the Honiara Summit.

Honiara-based graphic artist Kurt Kuper was named the winner and was amongst 41 other applicants. His design was selected by the Honiara Summit Steering Committee.

The fish and the tail

The Fish - Represents our marine resources and the diverse marine ecosystem on which we depend for our livelihood.

The tail of the fish - is an abstract depiction of a traditional sail canoe mostly used by the native Solomon Islands people and others in the Pacific region for fishing and voyaging.

The silhouettes

The silhouettes around the logo represent our people in the Pacific, diverse cultures and races that come together to work together to achieve a common goal. This ties in with the 'Iumi Tugeda' aspect of the Honiara Summit 2025 theme.

The coconut island

The coconut island represents a universal icon used to identify our Pacific identity and neighbouring countries of the Pacific region, more commonly referred to by people outside (of the Pacific region) as 'The Islands'.

The motifs

The motifs—These represent the cultural identity of the Solomon Islands through our traditional pattern and design.
