The Emblem
The Emblem
The logo for Regional Agri-Aqua Innovation System Enhancement (RAISE) features the following:
The outline of a lightbulb formed by plant saplings, representing growth and vitality in the agricultural sector.
Within the contours of the lightbulb, the Caraga map outline is ingeniously integrated as a filament/flame, symbolizing the region itself. The flame transitions in a gradient from green and gold to orange, reflecting the region's well-known natural resources such as silver and gold ores.
Emphasizing the interconnectedness of agriculture and aquaculture, a subtle fish silhouette is strategically placed within the negative space of the lightbulb.
The text "RAISE" and “CARAGA” are presented in a sans serif typeface (Poppins), accompanied by a dynamic blue arrow waving to the right and pointing upward, symbolizing progress and forward movement.
This design encapsulates RAISE's commitment to advancing agricultural innovation and sustainability, rooted in the dynamic landscape of the Caraga region.
