The City of Camberwell used the same logo as its predecessors - the original crest having been first used in 1871 when the [[Shire of Boroondara]] was established. In 1969, an updated Council crest was revealed. | |||
Both logos depicted a beehive, pick and shovel, and a plough and sheaf of wheat. These were surrounded by grapevines. All of this symbolised the agricultural and predominantly rural nature of the area at the time. The motto ''Cura Et Industria'' ('careful and industrious') was used on both crests.<ref name="CamberwellCouncil1993Report">Camberwell City Council. ''Annual Report 1993''. 1993.</ref> | |||
