PHA Conference: About the Logo
22nd Pacific History Association Biennial Conference 2016
About the Logo
“The logo for the 22nd PHA Conference is an artistic rendition of the taro corm and leaves. Recognized throughout Oceania
as a staple food providing sustenance to Pacific Islander peoples, taro and its cultivation
requires replanting a portion of the harvested crop, which in turn sprouts a new plant
for future cultivation. Taro thus speaks symbolically to this year's theme by highlighting
the importance of our past to sustain our present and future. It represents the direct
genealogical connection between past, present, and future, aligning sublimely with
the conference theme of Mo'na.
The conference logo was designed by local artist Bruce E. Warner. Born and raised
on Guam, Bruce has extensive experience working on projects that seek to advance creative
and performing arts in the Pacific. He has been the graphic designer for the last
four issues of Guam's only literary and visual arts journal Storyboard: A Journal
of Pacific Imagery. Bruce has also designed promotional materials for the University
of Guam Theater for the last several years.”
