What does the Unicef Logo mean? Is there a reason why the Unicef Logo is represented that way? Actually there is, each of the elements displayed on the symbol have a special meaning.

The Unicef logo consists of four elements, the olive branches, the globe, a mother and her child, and finally the UNICEF acronym. The olives branches are a symbol for peace, which surround the globe. The globe represents the areas of interest in which the U.N. develops plans for peace and security, for all the people in the world , which is it’s main goal.

The mother and child represent the nurturing of the children, caring and watching for their future and prosperity. The main goal of UNICEF is to watch for children’s rights, reduce levels of poverty which affect their upbringing, provide for their health and education and to represent their voice globally.

The final element is the UNICEF acronym. This letters stand for United Nation’s Children’s Fund, originally they stood for United Nation’s International Children’s Emergency Fund, but years after it was shortened to today’s denomination. The other elements that are included in the logo are the white and blue colors that are displayed. These are the official colors of the United Nations, as they are used in all of their other logos and flags.

Recently, UNICEF has begun partnerships with world-class athletes and teams, to promote the organisation’s work and to raise funds.On 7 September 2006, an agreement between UNICEF and the Catalan club FC Barcelona was reached whereby the club would donate 0.7% of its total yearly revenue to the organization for five years. As part of the agreement, FC Barcelona will wear the UNICEF logo on the front of their shirts, which will be the first time a Football Club sponsored an organisation rather than the other way around.In January 2007, UNICEF struck a partnership with Canada’s national tent pegging team. The team was officially re-flagged as “UNICEF Team Canada”, its riders wear UNICEF’s logo in competition, and team members promote and raise funds for UNICEF’s campaign against child labour.The Swedish club Hammarby followed the Spanish and Canadian lead on 14 April 2007, also raising funds for UNICEF and displaying the UNICEF name on their sportswear.
