The primary logo is composed of a rectangle with a radial blur representing honesty, solidarity, and stability while also adding a level of specificity to what is seen as a generic shape. Embedded in the blur is a modernized rendition of the Mi'kmaq symbol for “we” or “us”.
The use of Mi'kmaq hieroglyphics nods back to Jacob's Indigenous roots and imbues the brand value of community into the visual system.
