The City of Yellowknife officially registered the trademark Yellowknife - Diamond Capital of North America™ in 1999 to establish itself throughout the national and international diamond industry. This logo has been incorporated into the downtown beautification program, and it is prominently displayed on street banners throughout the City. Local businesses and not-for-profit groups are invited to use this logo for marketing and promotion, and to share our vision as the Diamond Capital of North America™.
THE Diamond Capital of North America™ LOGO - WHAT IT REPRESENTS
The logo, which was designed to compliment the trademarked slogan, captures the energy and excitement that the new diamond industry has brought, not only to Yellowknife, but all across the Northwest Territories, Canada and North America.
The BUILDINGS represent the future of Yellowknife as the centre of commercial and resource development activity for the Northwest Territories.
The NORTHERN LIGHTS are a symbol of the strength, uniqueness and brilliance of the greatest natural show on earth.
Finally, the DIAMOND represents the future prosperity of our city and our people.
