The Story Of Our New Logo

Water represents life. Without water nothing can survive and grow. Water encircles Hawai‘i Island and its people, and water from above brings life and beauty to Hāmākua.

The three water droplets represent the credit union’s Past — with its roots humbly serving the Pepe‘ekeo community; the Present — our island wide Field of Membership change that has allowed us to grow and expand beyond providing just our basic services; and our Future — as we further grow our membership and broaden our offerings of products and services to meet members needs wherever they live.

The ripples are created as the water droplets impact the bountiful waters of Hāmākua and then gently expand to touch all of Hawai‘i Island.
