A Closer Look at The Center’s New Symbol and Why It Felt Right
A symbol of growth, resilience, and the beauty of life’s next chapter.
When we set out to refresh The Center’s visual identity, we weren’t just looking for a decorative mark—we were looking for something meaningful. Something with layers. A shape that could reflect the spirit of this place and the people it’s here for.
We landed on the nautilus. Not because it’s trendy or showy, but because it tells a story we believe in.
The nautilus grows by building on what came before.
It begins life in a single, tiny chamber—and as it grows, it builds new ones, spiraling outward in perfect proportion. But it never leaves anything behind. Each chamber remains a part of its structure, essential to its form.
That felt right to us. Because aging isn’t about becoming less. It’s about layering, adapting, and continuing to grow. It’s about carrying what we’ve lived through—our joys, our losses, our lessons—and letting it shape what comes next.
The nautilus reminds us that every season of life matters. That we are always in motion, always becoming.
It’s also just… quietly beautiful.
Elegant. Balanced. Natural.
There’s no flash, no noise—just a form that’s as mathematical as it is soulful. And in its curves, we see what we hope this place feels like: open, steady, welcoming.
It reflects how we see The Center—not just as a service provider, but as a gathering place. A place to come as you are, to keep learning, contributing, laughing, sharing. A place where your past is honored, your present is held, and your future still has room to grow.
This symbol reminds us: we’re still building.
As individuals. As a community. As a Center.
It’s a reflection of our values—growth, continuity, and care for every stage of life.
And, it’s a quiet promise. That you’re not done. That there’s space for you here. That what’s next still matters.
If that resonates with you—if you see a bit of yourself in that spiral—we’d be honored to have you as part of this community. Click here to learn more about becoming a member →
