About Our Logo

After the 10th anniversary banquet, everything seemed to turn a new leaf. We were talking about branding ACAS, and naturally a new logo was suggested. A logo design contest finally occurred in the early 2006. Among the many entries, Vitoon Punjanun's was picked as winner by the committee. His original design was a lotus, but after discussing with the board and the committee, he altered the design with our input

.

The new logo now features seven heart-shaped petals, because “Love” is the major element of ACAS. Each petal is in a different color which represents the ACAS values - Health, Asian HIV Support, Sincerity, Harmony, Advocacy, safe environment, and leadership. The heart-shaped petal also looks like a person with hands together, and all seven of them pointing towards the center is a symbol of “Togetherness”, and joining hands together towards a common goal.

The official logo is in its full color, with or without the text. When text is used, we also make it official to use a font named “London Between”, either the full name “Asian Community AIDS Services” or just “ACAS”. Also on occasions, we might just use the logo in a monotone color.
