Mothers Union worldwide has had many symbols or logos over its 140 years.
Each logo represents the way MU has responded to current trends in community awareness.
Our new logo, which will be phased in over a couple of years, has a number of key elements.
- Anglican indicates that we are church-based.
- Mothers Union emphasizes our connection with the worldwide movement and you will note that the apostrophe has been dropped.
- Australia shows that our work is centred in, though not limited to, this country.
Our new symbol can be read in many ways:
- A mother reaching down to embrace a child
- A child reaching up to their mother
- A pregnant woman supported by others
- Surrounded by family, yet focused on children
- A parent first, but with other interests and concerns
- A parent with support structures surrounding her/him
- … and any others that you can see!
