The NCTF-RH logo symbolizes our commitment to approach this project with great respect for the land, water, and people of Hawaii. The blue skies represent the beauty of the islands, and the clouds represent the natural cycle that renews the land and people with fresh water. The rainbow not only represents hope and optimism for the future, but connects the land and sky, reminding us we are all united. The mountains bring fresh water from the highest elevations to sea level and eventually into the aquifer. Because clean water is at the heart of all NCTF-RH efforts, a drop of water exists alongside the Navy anchor. The two shaking hands inside the water droplet represent the Navy's commitment to working with the community towards the same goal: safe, clean drinking water for all generations to come. The blue section surrounding the artwork provides the name of the organization, and the two white stars represent the commander. - The NCTF-RH logo symbolizes our commitment to approach this project with great respect for the land, water, and people of Hawaii.
