About the Aboriginal Music Week Logo

A combination of two extremely familiar symbols – The Music Note and The Eagle – have been used to create this logo. The universal recognition of a music note breaks through language and literacy barriers. Combining that with the strong traditional symbology of the eagle – a symbol of power, the logo is intended to draw an instant relationship to the power of music.
