NAIDOC 2025 Logo Explained
LAURA HALL
13 January 2025
This year, we’re incredibly privileged to share our NAIDOC 2025 logo. Designed by the incredible Kamilaroi artist Teagan Malcolm, her simplistic, digital design timelessly celebrates the importance of NAIDOC. Embodying the timeless elements of the theme, her message celebrates the eternal importance of getting everyone involved in this country-wide event.
We’re honoured to showcase Teagan’s incredible talent! Here’s what she has to say about her design.
“For the 2025 Yarn NAIDOC logo I wanted to capture the spirit of this incredibly meaningful week. The outer layer of the design represents community coming together in celebration, the essence of what NAIDOC week means to me. There is no other time of year where Blak voices, stories, art and achievements are so prevalent - that energy is really special.”” - Teagan
Around the core of the logo, the Indigenous symbols represent the community. Collectively, they represent how everyone is valued together around the core of who we are, which is shown by the central Country, Culture and Kin.
The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy
The NAIDOC 2025 theme comes at a fantastic time to celebrate the future of First Nations generations. This year’s artworks will be featured alongside Teagan's logo on a range of products including polos, tees, drinkware, and much, much more.
About The Artist
Hi! My name's Teagan, I'm a proud Kamilaroi woman, illustrator, artist and graphic designer. I moved around a lot as a child but spent the majority of my time growing up on Gumbaynggirr and Bundjalung Country. At 18 I moved to Wurundjeri Country (Melbourne), to pursue Graphic Design and have warmly called it home ever since.
After returning home from living overseas, I was yearning to reconnect with myself and my community. I made art again for the first time in a long time and have been using it to tell stories everyday since. Inspiration comes from many places, my community, my experiences, my family and the world around me, both natural and made. I'm passionate about telling contemporary stories of family, travel and connecting to Country and hope that by capturing these moments through my art they may be preserved for years to come.
