The logo

The Mzalendo Logo is a recreation of the National flag, without the emblem. The colors of the flag are meant to resonate with the patriotic nature of our work.

The Mzalendo logo and descriptor (slogan) have been specially designed as separate units and don’t have to be used together at all times. In some instances however, the logo and descriptor will be used together for example on banners.
