Rebranding: A New Chapter for EEWA

The Legacy of the old logo Design

EWWA Logo Evolution: A Symbol of Growth, Unity, and Legacy

The previous logo was a powerful representation of EWWA’s mission. It featured “grass sprouting in a circle”, symbolizing the unity of Eritrea’s nine tribes, and “old branches tied in the middle”, representing the vital support that younger generations provide to elders. This imagery honoured the elders as the foundation of the community, with the youth ensuring their legacy remains strong and intact. As EWWA continues to evolve, the transition to the new logo reflects its growth, resilience, and forward-looking vision while preserving its deep-rooted heritage.

Key Elements of the New Logo

1. The Strong Tree 🌳 – At the heart of the design, this tree represents endurance, wisdom, and the continued growth of the community. It embodies EWWA’s resilience and unwavering commitment to supporting Eritrean elders.

2. Two Central Branches 🌿 – Symbolizing the unity of Eritrea’s Muslim and Christian communities, these branches reflect the harmony and balance that define Eritrean society.

3. Nine Circles as Leaves 🍃 – Representing Eritrea’s nine tribes, these leaves signify growth, continuity, and the flourishing of the community under the elders’ guidance.

4. The Yellow Gap at the Core 🌅 – A symbol of renewal and a fresh chapter, this element highlights EWWA’s commitment to adapting and meeting the evolving needs of the Eritrean community in the UK.


The new logo builds upon EWWA’s legacy, representing strength, unity, and renewal, ensuring that the association remains a pillar of support for generations to come.
