Sambat Trust Logo

This charitable organisation provides school libraries and books to children in the Philippines. The logo design is based on the local tradition of bayanihan - a spirit of communal unity or effort to achieve a particular objective. There is a common tradition in Philippine towns where community members volunteer to help a family move to a new place. The process involves literally carrying the house to its new location, by putting bamboo poles forming a strong frame to lift the stilts from the ground and carrying the whole house with the men positioned at the ends of each pole. We incorporated that concept into the logo, with an image of community effort to create libraries for young children. This logo was created free of charge as our own charitable gesture for such a good cause.
