The MOST SERIOUS HEALTH CRISIS OF THE LAST 100 YEARS has put us in front of urgent needs. In the very first phase, UNICEF also provided surgical masks, gloves, full-face suits, protective glasses, disinfectants and thermometers in Italy that we made available to the Civil Protection to give concrete support to health workers engaged in the fight against COVID-19.

It is even said that the children asked for a cup of UNICEF believing that the acronym was synonymous with milk!

The logo contains the image of the planet, which highlights the global nature of UNICEF's mission: helping children and women around the world. Mother and child are a symbol of motherhood and, in addiction the globe means his work's vastity, because there aren't limits for an international charity organization.

The color blue is meant to symbolize a peaceful environment and is said to be the opposite of the traditional color red, which often represents war and the lives lost during war.

The olive branches symbolize peace, while the map represents all the peoples of the world. White and blue are recognized as the official colors of the UN.

The color palette of the emblem consists in blue and white. They have a double function: they symbolize the sky with clouds and denote the founding organization, because the official colors of the United Nations are blue and white.

The olive crown has two meanings.The first is the distinctive sign that was awarded in ancient Greece as a reward for a victory. The second is the symbol of peace that came to us from the Bible.
