UNVEILING THE AFRI-TUNES LOGO
Afri-tunes' Logo adopts the three colours of the Pan-African flag: Red, Black and Green.
☆ Red Compartment
- The red colour signifies the noble Blood that unites all people of African ancestry;
- The Presence of the Lion is a sign of strength to this bond;
- The white and red (already merged) Signifies the presence of Hive.
☆ Black Compartment
- The black colour signifies the African people;
- The withered trees represent the cycle of life and death, happiness and sorrows, tears and laughter.
☆ Green Compartment
- The Green colour signifies the abundant and vibrant natural wealth and rich land of Africa, the Motherland.
- The talking drum is a symbol of the African Music celebrating the rich wealth and culture of Africa.
Afri-tunes celebrates Africa: the bond that unites us, our strengths and weaknesses, our Joys and sorrows and our rich culture. We choose MUSIC as a means of celebrating our "Africanness" on Hive and to the world.
