A lot of thought went into the design of the I.SEA. logo and the choice of what icon would represent the organisation was no easy one. In the end, the creators settled on possibly the most overlooked, underrated, and arguably most important type of organism on the planet- the diatom.
Diatoms, a large group of unicellular algae, come in a variety of forms and possess beautiful, intricate ciliate 'skeletons' that form strong, lattice structures in stunning symmetrical patterns. Diatoms are not only important primary producers in food webs, making up the majority of phytoplankton in our oceans, but also contribute to the balance of our atmosphere. These organisms sequester vast amounts of carbon dioxide and produce more oxygen than all of the world's rainforests combined.
We couldn't think of a more worthy candidate to represent our organisation, can you?
