The characteristic of the logo is the blue square with a white square in it: the window facing outwards, with the sea view. The graphic element (blue square with white square) comes from the maritime alphabet and represents the letter P from Port. It is also the P of The Blue Peter, which in the port means: 'All persons should report on board as the vessel is about to proceed to sea'.
