a stylized katakana Gino ギノ

There is an explanation of the emblem at city.cinowan.okinawa,jp.
The emblem is a stylised katakana Gi ギ in the shape of a rushing
ahead wing and a stylised katakana No ノ in a circle representing
the gulf/bay (湾 wan) and co-operative harmony and peace. To my
eyes, the circular shape actually resembles a hiragana no の
