There is no
single official Anzac Day logo. Here are some examples of illustrations that various
organisations have chosen to use around Anzac Day . Can you identify the components of each?
(See the table below for more information about each component.) |

 The
white Gallipoli roseSome people believe that the white Gallipoli rose (archived page from gallipoli2015.govt.nz) should be used if an official Anzac Day logo is created. This flower blooms during April and May in Gallipoli. It was chosen to form part of the official logo for the Gallipoli 2015 commemorations. |

Get ready to create an Anzac Day logo...
First, what is a logo?
A logo is an image that is specially created to enable people to
instantly recognise an organisation or an activity - for example, a
special occasion such as Anzac Day.
The logo needs to be simple, and to convey a meaning or message using few or no words.
To work well in practice, the logo must still be recognisable if reduced to a very small size or changed from colour to black and white. (For example, a logo should not use red print on a black background because making a black and white photocopy would change the red print to black too.)
Now create your own Anzac Day logo:
Components like these could be used, but think of others as
well.

Australian and New Zealand flag colour-in activities see our

**Anzac/ANZAC. Note that it is historically correct to write "Anzac Day" rather than "ANZAC
Day", and to refer to the soldiers as "Anzacs" rather than "ANZACs". A
detailed explanation is provided on our Anzac or ANZAC
page. If you wish to step around the issue you can use UPPER-CASE letters
for the whole of the expressions in logos, headings and posters: for example,
"ANZAC DAY", "REMEMBERING OUR ANZACS".

| Anzac Emblem The idea of an Anzac Day logo as discussed above is quite different from the "Anzac Emblem". For more information, go to the following pages of the Digger History website: ● Gallipoli Service Emblem (diggerhistory.info)
