The Happy Human is an icon that has been adopted as the official international symbol of humanism.[1] Created by Dennis Barrington, the figure was the winning design in a competition arranged by The British Humanist Association(BHA) in 1965.[1] Various forms of it are now used across the world by humanist organisations of all sizes including the BHA, International Humanist and Ethical Union(IHEU) and The American Humanist Association(AHA).[1][2][3] The trademark is still held by the BHA, which freely licenses use of the symbol by bona fide Humanist organisations worldwide.[1] Variations of the Happy Human Symbol[edit] Original Happy Human Symbol Organisations using the Happy Human[edit] The full Humanism logo.
