The Grade 12 student said her design was inspired by imagery in her culture, which often features important symbols, such as salmon or the sun, clutched by a pair of hands.
The logo, designed by Ucluelet high school student Koyah Morgan-Banke, features two hands holding a heart above the words “Be Kind.”
It’s “a protective, uplifting” symbol that she wanted to combine with a simple heart for the anti-bullying day, she said. Koyah said it was “unbelievable” when she found out the organization wanted her art for the annual event. That caught the attention of someone at the WITS Programs Foundation, the charity behind Pink Shirt Day Canada, who told Koyah he felt moved by her image and statement. He asked if she would participate in the event and if the foundation could use Koyah’s image for their Pink Shirt Day clothing this year.
Artistic talent runs in Koyah’s family — her father is a carver and her grandparents and her sister are artists — and the teen is no different. She is a volunteer art instructor in her spare time and sits on an advisory panel at her school that provides input on installing Nuu-Chah-Nulth art in the building.
