Our logo

I’ve been asked for a larger view and a description of our logo.

It was 13 years ago when we first got involved with the Quest School for Autism anything and everything to do with autistic children here in the Eastern Cape was very very basic, no support group, no community recognition, no meetings, etc. Other than the odd PTA at the school nothing existed.

We learned that some mothers in the early ’90’s had established a group (Eastern Cape Autism Association) but that it was defunct, dormant. We resurrected it.

To be fair, it was those mothers who did the original ground work to get Quest School established (a private initiative in those days.)

We obviously needed a logo, our secretary found this, showed my wife and I and we adopted it, no other proposals, no confusion a simple ‘hey, we like it, that’ll do!’. Life is so simple when you have committees limited to just 3 people.

We’re no psychiatrists nor advertising gurus but we think it represents an autistic persons dilemma,  their view on life, a puzzle, pieces that don’t quite fit together and they are holding them up asking for help.

I’m sure that there was more to it, like the rising sun in the background, it had to be a boy and a girl etc. but that is more or less as I remember it.
