This identity mark is based on a dynamic shape typical of motifs used by the indigenous Amerindian Peoples of Trinidad and Tobago. Its powerful positive-negative visual elements evoke an attitude of strength, protection, nurturing…and the essence of interlocking destinies, shared responsibility, sustainability, a continuum. Concern for national identity is inherent in the derivation of the graphic and in the symbolic ocean imagery recalling the Caribbean Sea which defines us as a nation and a region. Negative space creates a metaphorical pathway which links our past with the future.
