[ MO‘OLELO ] OUR LOGO

The Cameron Center logo was designed by world-renowned artist Tadashi Sato to stand for “hope.” Sato chose a circular shape because it traditionally symbolizes a life-giving form.

The artist’s use of color graduation from darkness to light is subtle yet deliberate. The dark blue represents despair that is often exhibited by those in need. The gradual lightening shows the movement from despair to hope, signifying the goal of Cameron Center. The deliberate alignment of the color bands demonstrates how the Center strives to bring those in need as close to a positive physical and mental balance as possible.

The new J. Walter Cameron Center logo honors the spirit of Tadashi Sato’s original artwork while modernizing its visual expression. The flowing, circular lines echo the original symbol’s life-giving form, representing continuity, unity, and the Center’s enduring mission to nurture hope and well-being in the community.

The layered arcs move upward and outward, suggesting growth, connection, and the collective strength that emerges when individuals and organizations come together.
