CNMI CARE gets logo, website
The CNMI Commonwealth Advocates for Recovery Efforts is working on their logo and website to further promote the group’s advocacy for long-term recovery.
According to CNMI CARE communications and resource development subcommittee member Glen Hunter, the design of the logo was crowd-sourced through Facebook and they were able to get 10 submissions.
“From those submissions, the committee got together and we narrowed it down. Somebody gave us an idea of the parts of the flag broken apart being put back together. At the same time, somebody sent us an image, a sketch by his daughter, the parts of the flag being put together,” Hunter said.
In the logo, three human figures are rebuilding and arranging the symbols in the CNMI flag that includes the latte stone, the mwar-mwar, and the star.
“Right away we knew that was a good depiction of what CARE represented,” Hunter said.
An AmeriCorps representative, Daniel Burch, helped the subcommittee further develop the sketch.
A website dedicated to the group has also been created but is still in its infancy stage.
Hunter said the website, www.cnmicare.com, will be used as information sharing for the survivors to get relief and recovery assistance.
“The website is also to showcase what’s happening out here. To let the world know we are still in recovery phase, we are still actually in relief phase, and that we still need an extensive amount of help globally,” Hunter said.
Hunter said it is easy for those from outside the island to forget the disaster that has happened in Saipan.
“We can use the website to pump up that message and send that message out there that we still need help and we’re still recovering, we still need relief support,” he said.
