The Tai Chi for Life and Health logo consists of the black and white circular Tai Chi symbol, representing the Chinese concepts of relativity and duality,

and the tuatara, the symbol of longevity.
The tuatara lives up to 100 years of age, is unique to New Zealand, and has survived as a species for more than 200 million years.
