Towards a Vibrant And More Optimistic San Carlos

The logo captures the image of San Carlos as a warm, friendly, relaxed and welcoming place for residents, as well as for tourists and investors. The City is also emerging as the “Green City of the Philippines” for championing environment-friendly policies and practices and this is depicted in the logo by a green pedicab, a fixture in every San Carloseño’s charming city life. Set against the warm glow of the sun, the pedicab also represents the uniqueness of the San Carloseño lifestyle – like a leisurely drive along life’s superhighway. Beside the visual elements of the logo is the City’s battlecry, “Vamos! San Carlos!”, which is Spanish for “Let’s go, San Carlos!”, rallying San Carloseños to move forward. The slogan, “Where green is go!”, underscores the City’s desire to achieve a kind of progress that does not compromise the planet and its people.
