HOME SAINT MATHILDIS ACTIVITIES STAFF MEMBERS CONTACT LEFT Logo The LOGO of Sint-Mathildis The logo of Sint-Mathildis: How did one get it? Where do they come from? Why that color? And what do these orange boxes mean? To estimate this correctly, we have to go back to the year 1982. When we were still housed in the 'old Sint-Mathildis', and gradually the finishing of the new house came into view, the thought arose: "What name are we going to give our new house?" The answer from the board of the congregation came to us quite quickly and it was also very clear: "At the request of the Van Hese family, the name of the Sint-Mathildis rest home had to be preserved forever." So we knew that immediately! Then the next thought arose. Every institution that bears a name has a logo in its banner. What to do now? What could they do? The then director, Jos Van Uytsel, came up with the idea to have the students of the drawing academy of Lier design a logo. That was possible and it was also a challenge to show their innate drawing talent. The assignment was: it is a retirement home for the elderly; and our name is 'Sint-Mathildis'. Pretty soon we received a number of beautiful drawings. Mathildis' letter ' M ' came abundantly from the sketches, in all possible shapes and colors. 'St' also came out wonderfully on paper, but there was one that stood out and everyone was amazed by its simplicity of shape and color ... the three orange squares ... they got our preference: But that was not all, there was a note with the 'why' of this drawing. those pointed squares gave the image of three roofs it was not only three roofs, but also the graphic letter 'M' and the graphic letter 'M' means: home and security we also found the orange color to be so original that the whole of this concept enjoyed our preference. We are very proud of our logo that still appears on all stationery and letter envelopes and, above all, of our banner ... when it's party time you can see them waving!
