AMS Logo
Why did we change our logo?
The previous AMS logo (see below) represented a design in an Aboriginal Australian style from the northern Australia region; however, it was not designed by an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander artist.
At the 2021 AGM, former AMS President Vera Weisbecker brought up the use of Aboriginal Australian-style art in the AMS logo. At the 2024 AGM, the society voted to replace the logo with an updated design that represented the spirit of the original, without appropriating Aboriginal Australian-style art.
Previous logo of the Australian Mammal Society designed by artist Robert Warneke in the late 1970.
Updated logo of the Australian Mammal Society, adopted in 2024.
