PAEPI LOGO
THE GOLDEN BROWN TRIANGLE:
The golden brown triangle represents the Philippines as a strong nation through the PAEPI way of reaching all its corners and islands. Its golden brown color background manifests a brighter and prosperous future for the country.
THE THREE RED CIRCULAR SILHOUETTES WITH A BIG RED HEART EACH:
The three red circular silhouettes represents three persons with a big heart showing each and every individual or group, government and non-government associations, agencies or institutions, educational institutions, officials and members of the PAEPI voluntary making themselves EXTENSIONISTS willing to carry out the mission, vision, and objectives of the association in all the three main islands of the country, that is, LUZON, VISAYAS, and MINDANAO irrespective of their culture and tradition, race and religious affiliation with more emphasis for the indigenous people and/or marginal sector of society who need most the services of the EXTENSIONISTS. The three big hearts manifest the “service to others before self” principle. This is the care and key players of the association.
THREE EQUAL SECTORS OF THE CIRCLE WITH GOLD BACKGROUND:
The three equal sectors each represent the 3Es in PAEPI like the EXTENSIONISTS, the END-USERS, and the EXTENSION PROGRAM. The first sector- EXTENSIONISTS – the service and training provider and the source of the social transformation. He/she is referred to as the “Extensionists with a heart”. He/she voluntarily joins the organization more importantly for service to others, especially to the less privileged and indigenous people and/or the marginal sector of society. The second sector – END-USERS – the beneficiaries of the association objectives and programs. Those trained in a specific trade or skills they have learned and developed for their own and others for economic upliftment. The third sector – EXTENSION PROGRAM – this is the lifeblood of the association without which the association will die a natural death. The Extension Program spells out the continuing existence of PAEPI and defines the welfare benefits it provides to both the EXTENSIONISTS and the END-USERS in particular and the ASSOCIATION in general.
THE GRAY CIRCLE AROUND THE TRIANGLE WITH BLUE AND GREEN BACKGROUND WITH A YELLOW GOLD LAUREL
The Gray Circle represents the earth surrounded by blue clean waters and green and clean environment wherein the Philippines is situated. PAEPI founded and established in the Philippines with local and international perspectives links and networks with various reputable local and global institutions who share similar thrusts and concerns.
Laurel symbolizes strength, victory, power, honor, success, peace and other values. The circular shape represents without beginning or end, that “Once a PAEPI, always a PAEPI”. The laurel symbol communicates creativity, achievement, prosperity, protection, inspiration and wreath of service symbol for the services rendered and the continued partnership between volunteers around the world. The Wreath of Service (Laurel) represents commitment to programs and services.
THE WHITE BACKGROUND THAT SEPARATES THE GRAY CIRCLE AND GOLD ROPE
The white background represents world peace and purity or noble intention in the establishment of PAEPI in the Philippines with programs and services that has national and global impact or significance shared by its local and global partners.
THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE CIRCLES REPRESENTED BY TWO GOLD ROPES:
The big and small endless ropes tightly bind the PAEPI beneficiaries – the end-users in a strong, loving and caring relationship for the welfare and interest of the entire membership of the program with emphasis on the legal foundation, institution and by-laws wherein the association has been established.
In between the big and small rope circles is a space where the words PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF EXTENSION PROGRAM IMPLEMENTERS, INC. (PAEPI) (representing SEC CN-2009-10059) is inscribed with 2009 between two gold stars that symbolizes rated A productivity in 2009 and beyond . The 2009 represents the year that the PAEPI received its SEC registration number CN- 2009-10059.
