The red “bowl” at the bottom of the logo symbolizes the main foundation of our organization which provide a place where members in particular and Indonesian community in the Greater Toronto Aea in general can congregate and exchange ideas, come to a common conclusion and forge a strong bond amongst us.

 

The four “flower petals” pouring into the "black dot" in the bowl  denotes the direction where we came from (East, South, West and North, in other words, from everywhere in this world).

 

The “black dot” in the bowl is where all the ideas, thought, dreams and mutual respect blend together to become the wisdom of this organization.  All of those are in the realm of the “bowl”.

 

The “red maple leaf” denotes the existence of Canada and its influence.

The basic colour of red and white are coincidently the colors of the flags of Indonesia and Canada.

 

Our goal is to make UNICAS a place to meet, as the logo depicts, it is a "container" or "wadah"  where the Indonesian people from any walks of life, any religion, any Indonesian ethnic group, any age, gather as one group of Indonesians. UNICAS have also members who are non-Indonesian but somehow, sometime in their life have a link with Indonesia or Indonesian friends. As a non-profit organization we are here to represent our own structural make-up and to work in cooperation with other societies to serve the community.

 

UNICAS recognizes the ability to succeed with others, where alone we would fail. We are reminded of our need to belong to something greater than ourselves, which prompt us to reconnect with our individual responsibility to invest our efforts today so we may all have a better tomorrow, in which personal contribution (volunteering) and commitment can bring us to common goals. Working together with other Indonesian groups and other organizations will make the Indonesian community stronger and will enable us all to achieve our goals.

 

UNICAS logo was designed by the late

Tom Setiawan.
