Holroyd City Logo - Built Around PeopleHolroyd City Logo

The design of the Logo acknowledges a desire to identify Holroyd’s achievements and qualities and its distinct boundaries to the wider community of metropolitan Sydney and beyond.

The starting point for the logo is a stylised map of Holroyd. The central motif provides a geographic reference to the City. The thick line around the stylised map is to reinforce the central shape and to symbolise an edge or border to the City.

The four circles around the Holroyd shape symbolise people and the thick line around the map shape symbolises people holding hands in a circle.

The positioning line "Built Around People" symbolises the interplay between people - the Holroyd community and the place - the physical shape of Council’s area of control.
