Above is the international Logo of our Society approved by the International Council General, representing a sign of unity of the Society, for the use all over the World by Councils and Conferences.

Description:
- The Fish is the symbol of Christianity and in this case represents the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
- The eye of the Fish is the vigilant eye of God seeking out to help the poor and underprivileged in our midst.
- The crossing at the tail or a tie-knot represents unity and oneness among members and also in union with the poor.
- The loop (round circle) signifies the global or worldwide stature of the SSVP, an international Society.
