Have you ever considered what goes into creating a logo? When it was time to create the visual representation of the Division of Territorial Parks & Protected Areas, we sat down with the amazing team at MLB Creative to think about what makes the Virgin Islands special. We wanted to make sure that every element came from the VI and represents the amazing natural and cultural resources that we are protecting as we create the VI Territorial Parks System, VI Parks for VI People.
Have fun exploring the elements of the logo and how each represents the Virgin Islands!
Can you identify all the elements of the Division of Territorial Parks and Protected Areas logo?
Each element is a representation of a native plant, animal or historical artifact!
Hover over each element to see its description!
Parrotfish
Parrotfish are some of the most vibrant and hard working creatures on the reef! They play a huge role in keeping coral reefs healthy.
Orange Manjack
This tropical tree found only in the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico bears this beautiful orange flower.
Waves
Waves in the Caribbean are beautifully shaped by the wind and ocean energy.
Bananaquit
The banaquit is the official bird of the Virgin Islands and is also known as the "sugar bird".
Ghut
A ghut is a natural or freshwater stream found throughout the VI formed by rainfall carving through terrain. They carry water from the hillside to the coast.
Petroglyph
A petroglyph is one of the oldest forms of human expressions found across the world. Here, this image is meant to represent the nose of a bat, the only native mammal in the VI.
Elkhorn Coral
This type of coral, with its antler-shaped branches, is one of the most important in the Caribbean. It creates a dense habitat for a variety of marine species.
