Logo Design
A call for artists was held in the spring of 2021 to design the logo for the ḴELOŦEN ȻE S,ISTEW̱ education fund. The call was open to Indigenous youth from lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ territories, and the selected artist, Eva George Tulsimiyē was awarded $1,000.
Eva George Tulsimiyē
Eva George Tulsimiyē (tul-see-me-ahht) is a Coast Salish artist from the Songhees Nation. She was born and raised on lək̓ʷəŋən territory in Victoria, British Columbia. She is a multi-disciplinary artist and mother of three. Her commitments are to her community, culture and Indigenous youth. Inspired by her grandfather, Elmer George, a respected artist, knowledge keeper and translator, she began drawing at age 12. Since then, she has grown into a dynamic artist working across various mediums, including digital art, beadwork, ribbon skirts, crochet, and knitting.
Eva’s logo is not just a design, but a reflection of her community, culture, and the sharing of knowledge. Through her work, Eva honours where she comes from and inspires others to stay connected to who they are. Her art is a celebration of Indigenous identity and the strength found in tradition.
A Fresh Look, Rooted in Tradition
In the summer of 2025, the logo was carefully digitized by Jack Taylor, a Red River Métis designer from Winnipeg, now living in Victoria. He grew up surrounded by his culture and is passionate to work with First Nations communities through design and storytelling. The design was thoughtfully refined to stay rooted in the original while being easier to see, share, and use in the future.
