The Tri-Hi-Y logo is a triangle with Tri-Hi-Y in the corners.

 Within the triangle is a torch enclosed in a circle.

 The triangle stands for the trinity in a person's personality --BODY, MIND and SPIRIT.

The circle stands for the completeness of a Spiritual filled life.

The torch is a symbol of the mission expressed in the Tri-Hi-Y purpose.
