Logo

The Friends for Life logo, adopted in 2018, is contemporary, colorful and inclusive.

“The colorful people reflect the diversity of Friends for Life volunteers and Life’s Garden residents,” says Friends for Life president Julie McAfee, who tackled the logo makeover. “Yet we are united around the heart in the center, which represents love.”

The logo has a white background. At the center is the green outline of a heart, encircled by ten abstract blue people.

Each blue person is outlined in a different color—red, gold, orange, lime green, aqua, yellow, hot pink, fuchsia, brown and dark blue.

Julie searched through free online clip art, then customized the final choice. Inside the heart, she added the name “Friends for Life” with a small cross below it.

“I added the cross because we are a Christian organization, founded by members of Sunnyvale Presbyterian Church,” says Julie.

The cheerful, happy logo is the second in the decades-long history of Friends for Life.

The nonprofit organization was established in 1976. It serves residents at Life’s Garden, a senior living complex in Sunnyvale, which welcomed its first residents in 1976.
