The Boys and Girls Homes of NC logo was designed by Debbie Conway who currently resides in Whiteville, NC, and teaches art in the Whiteville school system.  Recently, when asked to recall designing the logo, Debbie said, "Wow, I'm really going to have to sprain my brain to remember much about the logo.  I think I did that in about 1978 or 79!  We (she and husband Rob who was an employee of B&GH at the time) came to Boys Homes in 1976 and I was pregnant with [our oldest child] Chris and stayed home with him and then Laura, too.  I was glad to have something to do relating to art and I did a few things for the development department.  I have forgotten who asked me to do it,  but they wanted something that was representative of all children.  I think that they had just started taking girls at the Huntersville campus- thus the girl in the logo.  At the time I did it, I didn't dream that they would still be using it almost 25 years later!  I don't think I modeled the faces after any residents there then, I think I just made up generic faces!  That's about all I can recall about it- I remember that I was surprised to see it used on so many things- I think they told me they wanted it for letterhead."

 The logo continues to represent Boys and Girls Homes on stationery, displays, vehicles, etc., and most prominently, a tiled version on the back wall of the stage in the William Horney Fellowship Hall of the Leamon Rogers Memorial Chapel.  The logo is lighted by spotlights at meetings and is a beautiful representation of the homes.  A modified version contains the wording "Boys and Girls Homes of North Carolina, Inc." is used for more specific identification of Boys and Girls Homes.
