About Our Logo

The circle was chosen as the shape for HAR's logo because it connotes a group of people sharing a bond and common interests. Another look at it reveals the island sun behind a mountain range.

The circle is filled with land and water characteristics, chosen to represent real estate in Hawai'i . It contains five triangles, which are the five major islands that HAR represents. The islands have a three-point shape to honor the REALTOR ® organization's tri-partite agreement. The wave adds a unique island and cultural look that separates Hawai'i from other REALTOR ® associations within the national organization.

These are the elements that make up our logo.
