Logos & Trademarks
In mythology, the rise and fall of the sun symbolized the struggle between the gods of light and darkness. Man, of course, was ever hopeful that light would prevail and eternally triumph. Thus, the champion of light was usually represented by an animal with awesome qualities. Horus, the falcon god of ancient Egypt, fulfilled that role. His importance was further emphasized by the double crown upon his head, an indication of his supremacy over both the upper and lower kingdoms of ancient Egypt.
This is the new logo approved by members in November, 2013. Use of this logo needs to be approved by the ACVO.
Up until 2013, the above logo was utilized: The seal embodies a likeness of the statue of Horus at Edfu superimposed upon a field of black within a pyramid; a representation of his role as the conqueror of darkness in Egyptian mythology. The motto, "...that light shall prevail over darkness," is the final phrase of a sentence aptly describing the meaningfulness of Horus. (This logo is still trademarked and owned by the ACVO, use needs to be approved by the ACVO.)
