There is no one symbol or message that the Year of Grace logo is intended to convey. It is a bright and stylish image which, in looking at it, has many significant symbols and connections that can be drawn:
The cross
- The sun
- A circle that represents the infinity of God
- The halo incorporating a cross that surrounds the head of Jesus in Eastern iconography
- The host used at Mass
- The monstrance used in Eucharistic adoration
- A link with the artistic tradition of our Indigenous people
- The earthen, ochre colours of Australia
- A diversity of peoples and cultures, gathered into one community
- A star-burst
- Light
There may be other ways in which the logo speaks to people.
