• The Colors: Our green, purple, and yellow palette represents hope, healing, and light. These are the same colors woven throughout The Be A Light Project’s mission, reminding people that brighter days are possible.

• The Barn: A powerful symbol of rural communities, the barn honors where our mission began—small towns, farm families, and tight-knit neighborhoods that often go unseen in the mental-health conversation. It represents strength, hard work, and roots that run deep.

• The Sun: Shining from our original logo, the sun represents the light we work to bring into spaces that have felt heavy or hidden. It’s a reminder that Hope Lives Here—in every conversation, every event, and every person we meet.

• The Message: Hope Lives Here isn’t just a phrase. It’s a commitment to show up, to create connection, and to make mental health support accessible where it’s needed most.

Green – Mental Health Awareness

Green is the universal color for mental health awareness. It represents growth, healing, and a powerful reminder that says: You’re not alone.

Yellow – The Original Sun & Its Light

Yellow in our original logo comes from the sun — a symbol of hope, warmth, and new beginnings. It reflects the light we strive to bring into conversations and communities that have felt overlooked.

Dark Shades of Purple & Navy Blue – Strength & Stability

Purple represents suicide prevention, honoring the lives impacted and the importance of continued awareness. Navy symbolizes strength, steadiness, and the resilience of rural families. Together, these deeper tones ground our palette, balancing the brighter colors and reflecting the real, lived experiences behind our mission.
