Logo

 

The 1938 Commonwealth Games logo consisted of seven panels depicting the sports which comprised the program of the Games - Aquatics, Athletics, Boxing, Cycling, Lawn Bowls, Rowing and Wrestling.

The lower half of the symbol is representative of an actual
photo of a portion of Sydney Harbour, taken from the Botanical Gardens looking accross Farm Cove. The symbol was black and white.
