The AIPGE Logo

The AIPGE logo is inspired by the letters AIPGE spelled with clipped shapes of paper clips. It was designed by BOD Maribeth B. Daquilanea in the first few months of the organization.

Why a paper clip?

The paperclip is the wire or plastic that holds sheets of paper together, a metaphor for the individuals who hold together a body of organization that constitute the rank and file. (Rank-and-File Employees are those non-executive, nonmanagerial employees of the company. They do the paperwork, the filing, the
technical reports and the footwork.) A meaningful symbolism for the rank and file employee is a simple but essential office paperclip
