• There are four sections to the Te Ao Hou logo. Each section represents the four tribes of each area that is involved with Te Ao Hou.
• The first triangle represents Te Whānau ā Apanui and is blue in colour to signify the close association this iwi has with the ocean. The scales of the Moki (fish) are shown in their triangle.
• The second triangle represents Ngai Tūhoe, the green signifies their Maunga tapu Maungapohatu, the diamond in the centre represents Hinepukohurangi, the Mist Maiden.
• The third triangle represents Ngai Tai and the colour of the triangle signifies Te Moana Nui a Toi (the waters of the Bay of Plenty). At the top corner are ‘heke’ which symbolise the fact Ngai Tai descended from the Tainui canoe.
