To herald the 100th centenary of Peter Pan in 2004, Great Ormond Street Hospital
Children’s Charity (GOSHCC) has unveiled a new Peter Pan logo, which was inspired
by the bronze statue that sits in prime position outside the hospital.

The logo, which depicts “the boy who never grew up” blowing fairy dust from his 
hand, will be used on all the charity’s publications to promote fundraising events
and initiatives throughout the 100th anniversary year, alongside the charity’s teardrop
symbol.

The statue, which was created by Diarmuid Byron-O’Connor and unveiled in July 2000,
was turned into an eye-catching graphic by design agency Tequila at no cost to the
hospital.

JM Barrie, the author of “Peter Pan”, gave the copyright of his classic play to 
Great Ormond Street Hospital in 1929. Ever since, the magical story has brought 
fairytale endings to countless sick children from around the country whom the hospital
has treated.

Peter Pan was performed for the first time on 27 December 1904 at the Duke of York’s
Theatre, London. This December, a new live-action version of the play starring Jason
Isaacs, Richard Briers, Lynn Redgrave and Olivia Williams will be released worldwide.
The world premiere of the film, in aid of GOSHCC, will kick off a year of fundraising
events to celebrate the centenary.

Dona Selby, Executive Director of GOSHCC said: “We are very grateful to Tequila 
for the work they have done. I am confident that the new logo will help us in our
mission to publicise Barrie’s extremely generous gift to the hospital and Peter 
Pan’s 100th birthday.”
