Our Logo
The design incorporates a single symbolic person holding a flame in memory.
What does our logo symbolise?
The ‘l’ in legacy graphically represents a candle. The candle is lit in memory of our lost friends and family. It is a logo that we believe reflects our role as a caring organisation helping families of deceased police members.
