Masonicare has a new identity

Masonicare – The Grand Charity – has a new logo. It was designed by VW Bro Edgar Dela Cruz  AGDC, of Lodge Blacktown Kilwinning.

His design was the winning entry in a design competition that attracted around twenty submissions, which says a lot about the creative talents of our Brethren.

Masonicare Chairman RW Bro Tony Craig said the new logo was a strong identity that linked Freemasonry with its charitable endeavours.

‘We all know that Charity is the beating heart of Freemasonry and this new logo amply illustrates that,’ he said.

Creator VW Bro Dela Cruz explained the symbolism of his design: ‘The Square and Compass with a Heart at its centre powerfully symbolises the union of Virtue, Wisdom, and Charity,’ he said.

‘The Square serves as a reminder for us to act with unwavering integrity and fairness, while the Compass guides us to navigate life with balance and a clear sense of purpose.

‘At the core, the Heart embodies our mission of compassionate service to others.

‘This emblem vividly reflects our dedication to helping those in need, not merely through actions but with genuine love and humility. Just as the tools of a builder shape stone, our guiding principles mould lives.

‘Together, they inspire us to create a kinder world – where charity transcends mere actions and becomes an integral part of our way of life. ‘By the Square, we stand tall; by the Compass, we define the boundaries of care; and within the Heart, we discover the true reason for it all.’
