The black represents familial attraction unrelated to oneself, the light blue represents compassion, the medium blue represents loyalty, greyish-blue represents kindness, and dark blue represents memories. The raindrop shape is supposed to be a play on the 'blood is thicker than water' quote,; however, the rainbow inside it represents diversity and how family is more than just DNA.
