[Editorial note: source pages no longer available]
The stylised hiragana ki き forms a circular shape with points at
the top and bottom, and wings ("airfoils"?) at the top. The 'wings' represent
progress, while the circle represents harmony/reconciliation.
The light orange colour is literally "skin colour".
