What is FAMH?
Our logo
FAMH: The “A” in FAMH is represented by a blue starfish which is specific to the Pacific and the remaining letters of the logo “F”, “M” and “H” are coloured orange.
​
The starfish is an emblem of salvation during trying times; it represents guidance, vigilance, brilliance and inspiration and is an illustration of equality and team work.
​
The colour blue is associated with depth and stability; health and healing and understanding. It symbolizes trust, wisdom, and intelligence and is beneficial for both mind and body and has a calming effect. It is also representative of knowledge and integrity.
​
The colour orange is a symbol of strength and endurance; it is associated with success, enthusiasm and determination; and is invigorating and stimulating.
