The CHAS logo was designed by an Alberta College of Art & Design (ACAD) student in 1988. The objective was to establish a graphic symbol that would identify CHAS and refer to its function and goals. The circular directional arrows converge to form the central symbol of the child. The four circular elements focus attention on the child in the centre – suggesting a network of support.
