About Our Logo
Designed in collaboration with Vincent Design and James Harry.
The Seven Generations Capital logo is bold and impactful. The organic illustrative style is contrasted by the modern typography with generous organic curves and nuanced water drop details, as well as flared out ends that evoke the water and wood elements featured in the unique illustration. The emphasized forward motion in the logo speaks to Seven Generations Theory of Change, defining a path moving forward.
The colour palette embodies natural tones of water, inspired by the landscape, its rich history, and of its connection to nature. These colours are influenced by the diverse rivers, lakes, and oceans that convey a sense of authenticity and timelessness.
The tone is empowering and trustworthy with cultural symbolism that connects to the indigenous audience. The design is bold and relevant for the company it represents and the communities it will serve.

Salmon
The salmon is a symbol of perseverance, self-sacrifice, renewal and prosperity. For thousands of years, this fish has been the primary food source for coastal people, and is held in high esteem for the important role it continues to play in Northwest coast cultures and ecosystems today.
Canoe
The canoe has been and is a way of life for the Indigenous Peoples of Canada. It is not only the most versatile and reliable mode of transportation, it is a symbol of community, collaboration, and family of the Indigenous Peoples and Métis Voyageurs. A strong iconic visual of the past, present, and future explorations and discoveries.
Paddles
The paddles are symbolic representations of transportation, the sea, and life’s journey, as well as symbolizing collaboration, unity, exploration, and the pursuit of new experiences. They symbolize the guidance and direction needed to navigate the waters, ensuring a steady course towards prosperity. Each of the seven paddles represents a generation, emphasizing the enduring legacy and the flow of knowledge, traditions, and values passed down through time.
Sun
The sun with a mountain in the background and horizon represents life, abundance, and renewal. It highlights preserving the vitality of the land by promoting sustainability, renewable resources, environmental impact, and the natural regeneration of the land.
