The design within the letters and numbers is a textile design from the Coast Salish territory that dates back thousands of years and represents a spear and the mountains. It's representative of the Muckleshoot Indian Tribes' Great Seal on the flag of our nation. We are the original peoples of the greater Seattle region, and our dwelling spanned from the Cascades to the Salish Sea. The redesigned logos were created using traditional Salish forms - Crescents, Trigons, and Ellipses. We use these shapes to create images that give a sense of balance and flow, positive and negative, to whatever they are being applied to, in this case, The Seattle Kraken. The design represents the mysterious and supernatural forces that surround us, like the mystery of the Kraken underneath the water. The Thunderbird in the sky, who is another mythological being revered not just by Salish people but all up and down the Northwest coast and beyond.
