Our Logo

The Mibilla Foundation logo tells a story of culture, renewal and community.

After the heavy rains of Bulurru, the bright yellow flowers of the Gilini bloom along the sandy riverbanks, signalling the arrival of Girinybali - a season when Country is rejuvenated and life flourishes.

The dried stems of the Gilini are traditionally used to make gunggali (traditional fire sticks), which are used in winthali (cultural burning). Through this practice, old grasses are cleared and new growth is encouraged.

At the heart of our logo is the Gilini flower. More than a sign of a changing season, it symbolises renewal, resilience and the promise of new beginnings.

The surrounding mountains, landscapes and colours celebrate the diversity of Australia's Country, cultures and peoples.

Encircling the design is our community - our supporters, partners, and the individuals, families and communities who walk alongside us in creating stronger futures.

The Gilini blooms after the rains have passed and is the spark used in winthali to regenerate Country. Like the flower that signals the beginning of a new season, the Mibilla Foundation exists to create the conditions for lasting change - investing in people, strengthening communities, and supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander individuals, families and communities to build stronger futures for generations to come.

The Mibilla Foundation logo was designed by artists Brooke Sutton (@brooke_sutton_art) and Chern'ee Sutton (@cherneesutton)
