Summary
This is a digital photo I took myself. It depicts a wood carving of the seal of Brigus, Newfoundland and Labrador which is displayed in the Queen Elizabeth II Library at Memorial University of Newfoundland.

The town logo was designed in 1985 by Greg Hiscock, of Brigus, at the age of 14. This design was chosen by the Town Council of Brigus, and was selected from several entries submitted by local school children at the time.

The SAILS represent the monument erected at Bishop's Beach, as a memorial to Captain Robert Abram Bartlett. The SCHOONER is representative of the vessels based in Brigus and used in the Labrador and Grand Bank fisheries, for the annual seal hunt and on several notable expeditions to the Arctic Ocean and North Pole. The SEAL recognizes the large and storied history Brigus has in the sealing industry in Newfoundland and Labrador. Each spring hundreds of schooners would fill the harbour of Brigus, awaiting their crews, stores and fair weather prior to departing for the annual seal hunt. The Split Salt Cod pays tribute Brigus' long history as a major producer of salted cod, right up until the imposed moratorium on Northern Cod of 1992.
