VALENZUELA LOGO EXPLANATION

The new symbolical representation of
Valenzuela is a humble attempt by its designers
to capture the intricate chemistry of traditional
and modern-day aspects of a Municipality while
inculcating them in the simplest and most
meaningful picture possible.








The general background of the new
logo design of Valenzuela follows the colors and
design of our nations flag. This was purposely
done to reflect the inherent nationalism within
the hearts of its citizens as they bear the name
of Filipino with beautiful pride and seal.

design exhibits the geographical representation
of Valenzuela as seen of this particular design

the minds eye, it curiously resembles a dove in
flight with its wings outstretched as this more
than aptly symbolizes the hopes and aspirations
of its people for a more peaceful and
progressive future.

The gavel above the central figure of
the design is the symbolic balance of justice

that is the victorious symbol of a laurel wreath
with thirty-two leaves representing the thirty-
two barangays comprising Valenzuela.

At the left side of this design is the
symbolical representation of a clash of a
traditional industries. Valenzuela, because of its
unique and somewhat peculiar historical origin
is divided into two imaginary traditional areas
known as BUKID (field) and BAYAN
(metropolis). The respective names does not
necessarily connote a literal meaning but rather
a traditional distinction. The BUKID area
which was once vast tracts of arable fields is
represented by the symbol of fisheries.

industrious capitals of this country being
permeated with industrial factories, production
plants and of course labor problems. At the
right side of the design is a simple picture of a
factory which reflects the municipalitys stature
in this world of industry.
