Symbolism of new Drakenstein Municipality logo

What does the new Drakenstein Municipality logo symbolise?


01 November 2017 | Press Releases

​

Adopted on 24 August 2017 by the Drakenstein Municipal Council, Drakenstein Municipality's new logo represents excellence empowered by unity:

 

  • The dark blue ridges in the outer frame symbolise Drakenstein's mountain ranges.
  • The lighter blue crescents represent the Berg River as well as the Drakenstein Valley nestled between the mountain ranges.
  • The smaller green crescents signify growth, development and agriculture.
  • The figure in the centre embodies achievement and excellence. It is also a depiction of the late President Nelson Mandela who took his first steps of freedom in Drakenstein and passed on a legacy of reconciliation and selfless dedication to service to the community.

All attached and included images of the new Drakenstein Municipality logo are embargoed until 1 November 2017.
