New HRANB Logo

HRANB is very excited to present you the first phase of our new image! We have re-designed the HRANB logo AND we will be introducing to you a new website in the coming months.

We are pleased to present to you the new logo that was approved by the HRANB provincial board members. The roll-out of this logo will be occurring over the next few months.

Given that the project’s goal was to update the existing logo, here are the elements that were taken into account while developing the new version.

  • Boat
  • Sea
  • Red banner (small flag) blowing in the wind
  • Human Resources (network)

Since it was important to maintain certain traits of the old logo and to keep its spirit alive, we have chosen to clean up the lines and add movement to the logo in order to modernize it. We have added a unifying feature by transforming the flag into a group of people holding hands. In this newer version, we find the old logo’s symbolism (sea, boat, banner) and colors (red and blue) but with an added modern twist incorporating movement and vitality. Colors have been slightly modified to better fit the new image. The blue represents the ocean, the future and the group’s solidarity while the red stands for vitality and adventure.

By linking the banner to a mast that connects to the letter “N”, we convey movement (via the wind and the shape). The banner shows the unifying spirit of the network as well as the group’s strength. And, more subtly, we can begin to see the boat taking shape through the placement of the letters (acronym). Since the letters “NB” were repeated in both acronyms, we have integrated them. They now appear once as a larger “NB” (New-Brunswick).

If you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Have a great day!



Frances E. White, CHRP
President, HRANB
