Happy Human

The Happy Human is an icon that has been adopted as an international symbol of secular humanism. Created by Dennis Barrington, the figure in the shape of a capital letter H was the winning design in a competition arranged by Humanists UK (formerly the British Humanist Association) in 1965. Various forms of it are now used across the world by humanist organisations of all sizes, including Humanists UK, Humanists International and The American Humanist Association (AHA).

The trademark is still held by Humanists UK, which freely licenses use of the symbol by bona fide Humanist organisations worldwide.
