Logo information

The Gladstone Regional Council sail shape logo is distinctive of a region that borders the ocean. The sailing and boating industry in Gladstone is key to the regions prior success and future prosperity. The main three elements in the sail device symbols the bringing together of the three existing Councils into one cohesive unit.

The sail element is positioned to create the impression of forward movement, symbolising that the new regional council will be progressive and will take its region forward. A ‘G' device is seen reversed out of the sail shape consolidating the design.

The logo has used colour to represent features of the region.

Green

• Represents the bush and environment.  It represents the importance of our rural industries and the focus that Gladstone Regional Council has on the environment.

Blue

• Represents the sea, harbour, islands and the waves on the many prominent beaches in the region such as Agnes Water and Tannum Sands.

Golden yellow

• Located immediately under the blue represents the sand of our beaches, the prosperity of the region, the gold mining history of Calliope and Many Peaks, the vibrant sun and associated leisure activities of our emerging tourist economy.

Silver grey

• Represents the metals of industry [such as the aluminium industry which is prominent to our area] which forms an integral part of the economy and the lives of our residents.
