OUR LOGO
At Raegan Sharnae Way, our logo is not just a symbol; it’s a tribute to the incredible life and aspirations of Raegan. Each element of our logo carries a deep significance, reflecting the essence of who Raegan was and what she stood for.
The Majestic Eagle: A Personal Connection
The eagle, at the heart of our logo, was chosen to represent Raegan in every way. This magnificent bird embodies strength, resilience, and unwavering determination — qualities that Raegan possessed in abundance. Additionally, the eagle is the revered mascot at Raegan’s alma mater, NCCU.
A Tribute to NCCU: Burgundy and Gray
Burgundy and Gray are not just any colors; they are the school colors of Raegan’s beloved North Carolina Central University (NCCU). Raegan’s deep connection to her school is reflected in these hues, a constant reminder of her college days and the values she embraced.
The Caduceus Symbol: A Dream Unfulfilled
Running down the chest of the eagle is the Caduceus symbol, a powerful emblem representing Raegan’s dream of becoming an anesthesiologist. Though her journey was tragically cut short, her legacy lives on as we strive to support others in pursuit of their medical dreams.
A Stand Against Gun Violence: The Color Orange
Orange, a hue of boundless optimism, creativity, and vitality, illuminates our path forward. It is not merely a color but a beacon of hope, inspiring us to embrace life’s challenges with unwavering motivation. Yet, within its radiant embrace lies a somber truth—a reminder of lives lost too soon to the senseless grip of gun violence. Among them, Raegan, a soul brimming, a beacon of light and inspiration, whose essence was woven from the very fabric of orange’s vitality.
The Radiant Yellow: Raegan’s Sunshine
Yellow, a color associated with happiness and positivity, represents Raegan’s radiant personality. She was a true “Rae” of sunshine, spreading warmth and joy wherever she went.
Vibrant Purple: A Reflection of Raegan’s Spirit
Purple, Raegan’s favorite color, is a symbol of creativity, spirituality, and individuality. It represents her vibrant personality and the unique light she brought into the lives of those around her.
