The logo design was provided by artists at the Beananging Kwuurt Indigenous Community Group. Lesley Murray is the Artist in Residence who encourages local Aboriginal people to explore the arts.

The WEEC logo has a central position by being embraced in the Australian First Nations Boodjar, landscape and dreaming stories. The Wagyl is circling into the heart of WEEC depicting the spiralling from Lesley Murray’s artwork. This concept is also found in the Nautilus shell, the logo for the AAEE which some say represents nature’s grace in growth, expansion, and renewal. It is also one of the oldest life forms still in existence.

The Wagyl is the Noongar manifestation of the Rainbow Serpent in Australian Aboriginal mythology, from the culture based around the south-west of Western Australia. The Noongar describe the Wagyl as a snakelike Dreaming creature responsible for the creation of the Swan and Canning rivers and other waterways and landforms around present day Perth and the south-west of Western Australia. The Wagyl stories may represent the survival in oral tradition of extinct Australian megafauna, as there was a python-like snake. The Wagyl is often characterised as being green and smoky grey in colour, while also blending into the ocean.

The Wagyl is coloured in black and red in the original artwork, but it has been depicted in various styles elsewhere in Perth.

The inclusion of the frond image depicts the tracks made by Emu when gathering food but it could also depict the many smaller rivers and wetlands throughout the swan river region and beyond. This is an extension of the influence of the Wagyl on the landscape. It was also interpreted as representing mycelium, and the ever interconnected network of fungal life sustaining the world’s biodiversity, echoing the interconnections of people, culture, and the planet. The organelles are found in the cells of most eukaryotes, such as plants, animals, and fungi.
