Our district website, RotaryD5000.org, serves as a central hub for sharing information and resources with our members. To maintain a consistent and professional image, the official Rotary District 5000 logo will be the only official District logo displayed on the website's homepage and other key pages.

While the official Rotary District 5000 logo should be used on all communications, there are times that the Geographical Logo may be used to help simplify the understanding of Rotary in Hawai’i for non-Rotarians. The geographical logo, Hawai’i Rotary Clubs, provides a unique opportunity for marketing to the general public. This logo, as explained in the document "Using the Hawai’i Rotary Clubs Logo: Promoting Rotary in Our Island Home," serves as a geographic identifier representing Rotary International in our local community of Hawai’i.

When to Use the Geographical Logo (Hawai’i Rotary Clubs)

In marketing materials and outreach efforts aimed at the general public, such as community events, public awareness campaigns, and engagement with local organizations, the Hawai’i Rotary Clubs logo can be used. It allows us to establish a strong presence in Hawai’i and connect with individuals who may not be familiar with Rotary.

Consistency in Rotary Branding

As Rotary leaders, it is our collective responsibility to maintain consistency in our branding efforts. By using the official Rotary District 5000 logo for official communications and the geographical logo (Hawai’i Rotary Clubs) for marketing to the general public, we create a clear distinction while reinforcing our district's identity.

Conclusion

The Rotary District 5000 logo represents the heart and soul of our district's Rotary community. Let us use this logo with pride and unity in all our official communications, district resources, and official letterhead.

Together, let's continue to make a positive impact in our district, upholding the values of Rotary, and embracing the unique spirit of aloha that defines us in our beloved island home.
