THE LAVAPALOOZA FUN RUN LOGO of Puerto Prinecesa Pilot Elementary School, Class of 1990

A shoe, footprint and track are often used to symbolize running, movement and stepping forward. This part of the logo depicts the mission and vision of the Puerto Princesa Pilot Elementary School Class of 1990, that is to pay forward to the alma mater and the community it serves.

The community, as represented by the peacock, is representing the city of Puerto Princesa, a symbol parallel to the official logo of the city’s seal. The kissing peacocks depict lavapalooza, the expression of love done through kissing amongst couple in the hearts’ month, specifically the month of February.

The race track in black shade, symbolizes the bold and brave expression of love among the couples of the city of the Puerto Princesa and hopefully transcends to the entire province of Palawan.
