The Vancouver Goldeneyes are an ode to the fiercely protective Common Goldeneye, a familiar presence along Vancouver's beautiful waterways, coastlines and vistas. Inspired by the speed, strength, and synchrony of these ubiquitous birds, the Goldeneyes embody Vancouver's indomitable, unified spirit as they soar to new heights.
On the Pacific's edge,
where the sea mounts to mist,
where tree lines vanish in the sky...
distance sharpens the view
and vision becomes instinct.
We move with the wind.
With purpose and unwavering focus.
Swift in flight, boundless in view.
A clear force of clarity and vantage.
Sharp-eyed.
Fast-winged.
Bearers of vision.
All-seeing and all-knowing.
Moving as one. Drawn to the edge.
Wired to defend.
A force formed in flight.
We are the Vancouver Goldeneyes.
A bold golden eye sits at the heart of the design, a clear and iconic reference to our name, symbolizing vision, clarity and focus and paying homage to Vancouver's iconic common goldeneye.
The logo points northwest, reflecting Vancouver's geographical location and grounding our identity in a strong sense of place.
Inspired by the swift movement of the Common Goldeneye, the wings encircling the central figure speak to our speed, precision and dynamic spirit.
The curved lines represent the natural meeting point of land and ocean, a reflection of the unique geography that shapes the city of Vancouver.
The image of a diving bird captures our collective momentum.
We move as one, with purpose, grace and shared direction.
