The sail logo design, created by Ipo Nihipali, a kanaka wahine artist, highlights an historical motif, described in the book, The Hawaiian Canoe by Tommy Holmes, “when the sail was ‘for a king, for a distinguished priest or for a war canoe, the sail was dignified with the name la or pea la … and was a work of art. This name apparently … [came] from an emblem also termed la that was woven in its centre … [that] consisted of a circle with twelve rays of a red color pointing inward towards its centre, where was inscribed another smaller circle, the central part of which was white in color.”
