In the first year of the Great Southern Bioblitz the banner was made from a picture taken by Stephen Fricker GSB coordinator and cofounder while out on a hike with Seamus Doherty GSB cofounder and member of the coordinator committee.

The Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) was chosen to represent the bioblitz because it is both a true southern hemisphere local, never being observed north of the equator, but also because it can be seen from the three continents and many of the countries that participate in the GSB. The banner was designed by PossumPete, cofounder and member of the coordinator committee, he also wrote a blog about the design, you can read about it here.

In 2022 the banner featuring a jacaranda was chosen a feature of spring in many parts of the southern hemisphere and a native of Argentina. The design was made by Seamus Doherty GSB cofounder and member of the coordinator committee.
