A creative new logo has been produced for the CBA.

Our new logo is inspired by the core CBA research areas of biodiversity genomics and spatial ecology.

A DNA strand spans the plant (eucalypt leaf) and animal (feather) components that form the elytra of a beetle - a definitive symbol of biodiversity, comprising an estimated one fifth of all known living organisms on earth.

The beetle's membranous hind-wings are phylogenetic trees that, together with the DNA, represent evolutionary biology and biodiversity analysis.

A globe, representing ecosystems and spatial ecology, forms the beetle's abdomen.

Thank you to Sharyn Wragg for all the time and effort she put into this fantastic design.
