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.
The trademark is still held by Humanists UK, which freely licenses use of the symbol by bona fide Humanist organisations worldwide.
Since the 1990s, humanist groups have taken on looser, more figurative versions of the Happy Human logo, such as the logos used by Humanisterna (Sweden), Humanistischer Verband Deutschlands (Germany), Union of Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics (Italy), and the European Humanist Federation. In 2017, the British Humanist Association, which originated the Happy Human, debuted a new, single line-drawing style Happy Human when it renamed as Humanists UK.
The Humanist Emblem of Spirit is an authorized inscription on Government headstones and markers in cemeteries of the National Cemetery Administration of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and in Arlington National Cemetery.
