The meaning behind our Indigenous design
As part of our NAIDOC Week celebrations, RACQ showcased its Indigenous design as a symbol of our ongoing commitment to strengthening relationships with First Nations people.
The design was created as part of the Club’s Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan and is also proudly displayed on some of our RACQ patrol cars across Queensland.
The design was created by Leigh Harris, an artist from the Cairns based Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander design agency, Ingeous Studios. Leigh is the creative director at the digital design studio and co-founder of IndigeDesignLabs. Leigh has traditional connections to the Kanolu people of Central Queensland and Gungarri people of south east Queensland and is also proud of his Italian and Welsh heritage.
The design incorporates modern Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander design elements to symbolise RACQ’s progress towards reconciliation, paying utmost respect to Australia’s First Nations peoples.
The centre design elements are symbolic of a healing waterway, in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians gathered to embrace and heal through the sharing of knowledge and understanding of First Nations cultures and past injustices.
The pattern on the outer centre of the waterway represents a pathway in the coming together of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous Australians in a journey of understanding, acknowledgement and healing, embracing all cultures, united as one people. The outer element symbolises RACQ’s journey to embrace reconciliation.
The background represents the coming together of voices and RACQ’s commitment to improving and building respect, relationships and opportunities with Australia’s First Nations peoples.
RACQ is committed to taking meaningful and sustainable steps towards reconciliation. To find out more about our reconciliation journey, read our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan.
