Prevent Child Abuse America, who holds the trademark registration for the blue and silver pinwheel asks we don’t associate pinwheels with victims/substantiations numbers. Pinwheels may be equated with general statement of support for great childhoods and healthy development. Associate them with live births in your county, number of children/families you serve, or another positive imagery. The Pinwheels for Prevention Campaign does not want to reinforce negative images that may be counter-productive to the symbol’s image of hope, health and happiness.
