==Logo==
{{Main|Toki Pona logo}}
[[File:Toki pona.svg|left|thumb|120x120px|Toki Pona logo]]

The Toki Pona logo is composed of a circle with [[emitters]] above it and a smile inside. It is typically colored with {{w|ultramarine}} blue lines and an {{w|icterine}} yellow fill. It is retrofitted into {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} as the [[sitelen pona#Combined glyphs|combined glyph]] for {{tp|toki pona}}.

The logo and its color scheme have been incorporated into many proposed mascot characters, often playing on the symbol's similarity to a smiling head.
