,We're trying to come up with a logo for an Asian/Pacific Cultural
Festival. What are some things that might symbolize this very diverse
group. Is rice a universal theme? Someone thought that Hawaiians didn't
ereally eat rice prior to Asian immigrants entering their land. What
about bamboo? Is this an impossible task?

In article <Pine.SOL.3.91.95110...@boris.ucdavis.edu>, Theresa

it's pretty impossible... bamboo could work if not for a lot of pacific
islanders and asian indians. I think the closest you could get is probably
rice, even though it's probably true about hawaiians...

peace.

How about a variation of the Yin Yang symbol? i've seen one that 3 spirals
rather than the usual two (black & white).

Using computer technology (like Adobe Photoshop), you might be able to take
some of the countries' flags and make them into spirals.

just a thought...
