At the DEIJB Lab, we are dedicated to creating environments where every individual feels valued and heard. Our logo encapsulates our commitment to fostering a community grounded in the values of diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging (DEIJB). 🌟
Our carefully designed logo has 4 core elements:
🌸 The Lotus Petals: Each petal of the lotus flower represents each value characterised by the acronym ‘DEIJB’. Together, the petals form a resilient bloom, signifying the interconnectedness between each of the values (diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging) and their interwoven nature, whereby they are each fundamental to safeguarding the other. Together, they secure each value by ensuring that diversity is in the company of equitable approaches, inclusive practices, that foster belonging and justice.
👐 The Hands: The hands cradling the lotus flower reflect the DEIJB Lab’s commitment to centre, support and nurture the individuals and communities whose lived experiences and histories form the core of the Lab’s work.
⚖️ The Scales of Justice: Justice is not just an abstract concept but a tangible goal we strive to achieve through the work we do. The scales embedded in our logo are a powerful reminder of the importance of transparency of policies, processes, and substantive outcomes in evaluating progress towards justice. The scales are a critical reminder of the need to strive towards continuous improvement and of our dedication to the fight against systemic inequities.
👥 The Encircling Figures: At the heart of our work lies the belief that love and compassion are the cornerstones of inclusion, belonging, healing and justice. These figures symbolize the unity and collective strength that drive our efforts in fostering a community where everyone belongs while at the same time, recognising the unique value added and contribution of individuals and communities in advancing this work. The interlocking arms further signify the intricate ways in which all individuals and communities and the lives we experience are deeply intertwined. Any break in these links will invariably impact the whole. Thus, our vision must be inclusive, holistic and stem from a space of deep understanding and love.
This logo represents our commitment to the values of DEIJB in all our work. It's a reminder to consistently strive for diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging in everything we do. Together, we aim to create a world where these principles are transformed from ideals into actioned realities.
