Four Host First Nations Collaborate on Invictus Games 2025 Visual Identity

Four artists from the Four Host First Nations collaborated to design the new visual identity for the Invictus Games 2025. A single artwork was created by Levi Nelson (Lil’wat Nation), Mack Paul (Musqueam Nation), Ray Natraoro (Squamish Nation), and Olivia George (Tsleil-Waututh Nation), incorporating ovals, crescents, and trigons, and reflecting the spiritual and cultural significance of the Salish art symbols.
