The Logo of Unicef: Irreplaceable Symbol

The UNICEF Logo stands out as an Irreplaceable Symbol for all that is good and noble in the human spirit. The values that are represented in the UNICEF Logo are the summary of their mission and a model to be imitated.

The symbols that are displayed on the UNICEF Logo represent different values. For example, the blue and white, which a lot of people think symbolize the skies, are really the official colors of the United Nations. The globe, represents the people of the world and the olive branches represent peace. Meanwhile, the figure of the woman and the child represent caring for the infants, mothers nurturing their children.

The UNICEF name, which means United Nation´s Children´s Fund, is self explanatory. As for the olive branches, it was presumed also, that these represented wheat ears or even two crossed spoons that hold wheat ears; both of these interpretations are misled of course, due to the fact that these olive branches represent peace.

But what is more important is to copy and pass on the values that UNICEF stands for. To encourage people into taking part of the solutions and to be a proactive agent in the community. So more important then understanding the specific meaning of the symbols inside the UNICEF logo is to comprehend the values and efforts to change society on behalf of the children´s future and to provide them with a better tomorrow starting today. So now it´s time for you to pick up the torch and see what you can do to improve the world around you.
