The image features the logo for the East Coast Bays RSA (Returned and Services' Association). At the center of the logo is a large red poppy with a black center, a symbol widely recognized as a commemorative emblem for soldiers who have died in war. Surrounding the poppy, the name "EAST COAST BAYS RSA" is arched along the top half and the word "COMRADESHIP" along the bottom half, both in bold, capitalized serif font. The text is black, creating a strong contrast with the bright red of the poppy. Two black curved lines, one on each side of the poppy, connect the text at the top and bottom, framing the poppy image. At the ends of these lines, closest to the word "COMRADESHIP," are two small red poppy details. The overall design conveys a sense of unity and remembrance, central to the RSA's ethos.
The logo is for the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board, part of the Auckland Council in New Zealand. It consists of a graphic and text elements. On the left, the text "Hibiscus and Bays" appears in a large, bold, dark blue font, with "Local Board" directly beneath in a smaller size. To the right, the "Auckland Council" is written in smaller, light blue letters. The graphic to the right depicts a stylized Pohutukawa flower in red with a light green center above two blue wavy lines that represent the bays. The flower has seven prominent stamens that extend from the center. The overall design symbolizes the natural features of the Hibiscus Coast and Bays areas, suggesting a connection to nature and water.
The logo features a naval emblem with rich symbolic elements. At the top, a gold naval crown signifies the association's connection to maritime tradition. Below the crown, set against a sky blue background, is a circular gold rope border encircling the central image. The word "NGAPONA," likely a name or title, is inscribed in bold, capitalized letters above the central image within the border. The central image depicts a bird, specifically a New Zealand Falcon (Kārearea), in mid-flight, with its wings widely spread, showcasing detailed plumage in shades of brown, red, and white. The falcon is captured in a dynamic, descending motion, talons extended as if swooping down towards its prey, conveying a sense of power and precision. Below the circle, the word "ASSOCIATION" is written in capitalized letters, indicating the emblem represents a collective or group identity. The overall design suggests a focus on community and heritage, with the falcon possibly symbolizing vigilance or prowess.
The logo is for the Sea Cadet Corps, depicted with rich naval symbolism. At the top is an ornate naval crown, signifying royal or naval authority, with gold and blue embellishments and a stylized depiction of a ship's stern. Below the crown, the core emblem features a dark blue anchor, its shank vertically aligned, with a yellow coiled rope around it, symbolizing naval tradition and maritime expertise. The anchor is centered on a white background within a circular border. The border is navy blue with the words "SEA CADET CORPS" in bold, capitalized gold letters, indicating the name of the organization. Surrounding the central anchor are silver fern fronds, an emblematic New Zealand plant, representing the organization's heritage and connection to the country. Below the circular motif, a navy blue scroll carries the motto "READY AYE READY" in capitalized gold letters, a declaration of preparedness and willingness to serve. The overall design suggests a strong sense of identity and purpose, rooted in naval tradition and patriotism.

Dapps, a digital marketing company, has played a crucial role in establishing our online presence by expertly creating our website. Their support in digital marketing has been invaluable in enhancing our communication and outreach efforts.

The image is a company logo featuring the word "DApps." The "D" and "Apps" are written in a bold, serif font, with the "D" appearing in a larger font size. The letters "DApps" are colored black and are set against a plain background. To the right of the text, there is a square with a peach or pale pink background, inside of which the period (.) from "DApps." is centrally placed. The design is simple and modern, with a minimalist aesthetic. The period is distinctive, possibly suggesting finality or emphasis on the acronym "DApps," which often stands for "decentralized applications" in the technology and cryptocurrency sectors.
