United Nations Biodiversity Logo Design

Logo Design for the United Nations’ COP 15 Convention on Biological Diversity

I believe in using creativity to support and advocate for biodiversity. I designed the logo for the United Nations’ 15th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity. The main inspiration for the logo design is the natural ecosystems, including wildlife from the ocean, land, and air. This logo incorporates notable life from both land and sea, including a dolphin, a whale, a turtle, a palm tree, a couple of humans, a flamingo, an elephant, a panda, and pairs of swallows and pigeons. This design uses five primary colors: red, yellow, blue, green, and white, respectively representing five elements: fire, metal, water, wood, and earth.

As the Indian scholar and environmentalist Vandana Shiva once said: “Uniformity is not nature’s way; diversity is nature’s way. Diversity creates harmony, and harmony creates beauty, balance, bounty, and peace in nature and society, in agriculture and culture, in science and politics.” This logo ultimately illustrates the concept of harmonious development between man and nature, promoting the case for what this means for humanity.

I am honored and grateful to have received the Award of Honor for my logo design for the United Nations COP15 Convention on Biological Diversity.
