Our logo (above and below) was designed by President, Peter Mackay. The meaning of its design is described below by Zoey Daley, proud Wayilwan girl from Warren, NSW, Australia. Zoey is a junior leader and Wayilwan language and music student of Warraan Widji Arts.
You can listen to Zoey and read along below…

The warraan-gal (rivers) are indicated by the peach colour. The buluwii (blue) bindal-lugu-gal (straight marks/lines) represent the galimdhaa-gal (waterways) nginya mugil (that branch) off from the warraan-gal (rivers).
