About Our Logo
This short explanation of the various aspects of the logo may give you some insight into the spirit of Yorganop.
"The Circle at the top of the triangle represents the Sun, the life force and giver of life.
The three bands of colour represent the colours of the landscape of the South West of Western Australia.
The oval shapes in the centre represent the family with the two hands on each side caring for children.
The distinctive Yellow Cross Thatch identifies the artwork as Noongar.
The logo has been stylized to incorporate the original artwork and depicts the outline of a house.
The use of the triangle is to represent the basic needs of all people starting at the bottom with food, shelter etc….
The meaning of the word “Yorganop”. In the Noongar language “yorga” means girl and “nop” means boy. Therefore Yorganop = girl-boy, our kids.
All these attributes are central to the philosophy of Yorganop, which is to
provide quality care for children.
Our Original Artwork was created by Noongar Artist Ian Hill Wallam
a Bibbulmun Noongar from the South West town of Busselton.
