We present the WINNING LOGO of the 5th Meeting to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Italy-Middle East and Malta Region, which will take place in Sacrofano (Rome) from July 31 to August 2, 2020.

The logo was submitted by the Province of Lombardy, Local Center of Castellanza (VA), along with 10 other local centers from the provinces of the Region.

A competition was held, and the winning logo received 665 votes out of 2,177 valid votes.

Thanks to the 10 local centers that submitted logos and to all the Salesian Cooperators for participating in the vote.

Explanation of the Logo:

The open circle indicates inclusion in the world, not detachment. Don Bosco is at the center or above young people, as a guide. Young people on the move or with their hands raised: hope, future, education. The Cross can be integrated into the background or around the figure of Don Bosco.

* Stylized silhouette of Don Bosco – to recall the figure who inspired the movement.

* Stylized young people – represent boys and girls, especially the poor and abandoned.

* Simple cross – indicates Catholic roots and belonging to the Church.

* Open circle or embrace – symbolizes lay welcome and the Salesian charism in secular life.

* Warm colors: blue (trust), orange (charity), white (faith).
