History & Meaning Behind KW AccessAbility's Logo

The Lily and The Moon

Many years ago we came upon this passage while searching for our logo. The message is truly representative of the values this organization are founded on.

Train yourself in the ideal of the lily, which blossoms in the mud and has to keep itself engaged in the struggle for existence day in and day out; parrying, bracing, and fighting the shocks of muddy water and storms and squalls and sundry other vicissitudes of fortune, and yet it does not forget the moon above. It keeps its love for the moon constantly alive. It seems, however, but a most ordinary flower. There is nothing extraordinary about it. Still this most ordinary little flower has a romantic tie with the great moon. Similarly, you may be an ordinary creature – you may have to pass your days in the ups and downs of your worldly existence – still do not forget the moon.

In 2012 our agency updated its website and did a total rebranding. In order to modernize our logo, and remain true to our past, the new Lily took root. Besides reminding us of the daily struggles of the Lily, it gives an allusion to five areas which provide some of the greatest challenges to our members. They include: Transportation, Housing, Education, Recreation, and Employment.
