someone asked me once, what the inspiration for the FAinSA logo was.
Well here goes.
I decided that the symbol needed to be familiar and recognisable. Therefore the International symbol for the disabled, was a quick choice.
next I decided it needed an South Australian Symbol.. the Sturt Desert Pea was perfect.
1/ The Sturt Desert Pea is synonomous with South Australia,
2/ The " pea" was used by the "father of genetics" Mendel.
3/ The Sturt Desert Pea only flowers in the desert after rain, heralding hope.
4/ The Sturt Desert Pea has a strange graphical similarlity to the protein Frataxin....( which is so important in Friedreich Ataxia.
So there you have it.....
