Multiple angles were explored, from symbols representing Diamond Head like the Japanese White Eye bird, or "Le´ahi," the brow of the tuna, also referred as the "wreath of fire," to ties to the famous song and its references to water lilies. Other concepts included origami shapes and folds to represent the community joining as one to solve problems, pathways to represent forward thinking and progress, and finally birds soaring over the ocean as they return home. The selected logo symbolized leaving the island to explore other world cultures, views and beliefs and taking back what was learned and applying it back home.
