ABOUT OUR LOGO

A grain from five different types of rice, used to represent the various regions of Asia, was used to create the shape of the butterfly. Rice is the staple food of the Asian culture and has traditionally been viewed as a gift from the gods to show their care for humankind. The butterfly itself embodies the ability to metamorphose into a beautiful creature, symbolizing rebirth, life, and freedom; its flight represents the regaining of independence. The logo’s concepts parallel the goals of ATASK- to provide support and to empower survivors of domestic violence to become self- sufficient and live fuller lives. The single butterfly sends the message that society should work together as one to fight domestic violence and that strength arises from unity.
