The logo for the Boudreaux / Boudreau Family Association is divided into four parts by a gold cross in the center which represents Catholic and Christian faith. The two flags represented on the logo are the Acadian flags of Louisiana and Canada. The Acadian flag of Louisiana is a tricolor flag with three fleurs de lys on a blue field which represents France, the maternal country of our ancestors; the gold castle of Castile on a red field represents Spain. It was Spain that came to the aid of the Acadians exiled in France from 1755 to 1785; and the gold star on a white field represents the patroness of the Acadians, Our Lady of the Assumption.

The Acadian flag of Canada, principally the Acadians of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, is a tricolor flag of red, white, and blue like the French Flag but with a gold star representing Our Lady of the Assumption on the blue field.

The two other quarters of the logo have symbols of Acadiana. The Evangeline Oak represents the strength of the Acadians and their determination to survive the terrible ordeal of exile inflicted upon them by the British. The magnolia flower  represents the peaceful ways and gentleness of our people.
