OUR LOGO

 

logoambassador

Dating back to 2004 in the early days of the organization, the founders, working with the NWO Innovation Centre proposed several designs for review. The current logo was selected and represents “taking the bull by the horns while waving the red cape to attract business investment.” This sentiment continues to be consistent with the mandate of Ambassadors Northwest today.
