United Nations Logos and Brands

The United Nations, with its specialized agencies, funds, and programs, defines the content of the “United Nations” section. UNICEF, WHO, UNESCO, UNHCR, FAO, and the United Nations Development Programme create logos aimed at governments, donors, and the populations of the countries where their missions are carried out. The UN emblem, featuring a globe in an azimuthal equal-area projection and olive branches, was adopted in 1946 and remains a symbol of international diplomacy and collective security. The brands in this section represent a system that unites 193 member states, and the visual symbols of the agencies mark humanitarian operations, vaccination programs, peacekeeping contingents, and climate change reports worldwide.
