  • A word from the finalists

    We asked our finalists to tell us a bit more about their peace designs – and here’s what they had to say…

    Culture of Peace (Logo E)

    “Culture of Peace”… The future of our survival depends on the way we relate to each other. Compassion and communication will help foster the conditions for long-term, lasting peace. This is what my logo represents.

    The “Soldiers of Peace” documentary communicated these messages, how to build a culture of peace together, and how peace must be learned, through mutual understanding, human development and by harnessing our creativity and imaginations with the same human spirit to achieve peace that we have done to bring progress.

    Our universal responsibility and challenge ahead, is to use technology wisely and ethically to build a culture of peace with justice.

    Hello Peace (Logo A)

    My logo, logo A, symbolizes the hands of the world waving "Hello" to peace and "Goodbye" to war, pushing away violence and welcoming in peace.
    The colours represent the North, South, East and West regions of Earth and the five bold vibrant colours (black, red, green, yellow and blue) represent the five continents.
    Overall, it’s clear, bold and easy to relate to for any person at any age.

    Peace Hands (Logo C)

    K, well my logo (option c) represents an adult’s hand a child’s hand, suggesting that we shouldn’t just think of peace in terms of what it means for us, but for what it would mean for our children when they become adults.

    It symbolizes humans making a permanent positive mark on the world now, an impression that will hopefully have a lasting effect, like the symbolic handprints on the pavement in Hollywood. The hand is a friendly symbol (handshake, wave, sign of peace in Christian churches, greeting etc).

    I hope this appeals not only to the converted but also to the grittier side of humanity who may not be peaceful, but are open minded enough to become so .

    Human Peace (Logo B)

    Simplicity, Meaning-full & Creativity; the three main things to find in a peace logo. My logo has all of these things covered from the Simplicity of you able to draw it anytime, any day & anywhere. The meaning full of the many implications of the design from love to flora & fauna and the Creativity of which twisting and distortion of the logo would be found in thousands of ways. My Logo is SIMPLE, MEANING FULL & CREATIVE. Peace to all and all to have peace.

    I Smile 4 Peace (Logo D)

    Hello! I’m 100drine and I have a blog since more than 4 years (100drine.be). During all this time, I saw many things which revolted me! And much of blah for peace in Iraq, in Lebanon or Darfur, whereas here there is also TOO MUCH violence. I'm tired staying in my little corner and waiting until OTHERS change. I said to myself that if each of us moved its small finger HERE and NOW, the world could be a better place. My little idea? To create the greatest smile in the world! How? By asking everyone to take a picture of them and post it here. All these smiles will make a huge video clip: The greatest smile in the world, for a non-violent & colorful world OK? Go! And invite your friends, parents, uncles, aunts. And if on your side you have also a little idea, go ahead! It's time to move together! I smile 4 peace ;o )


    We also want to know what you thought of the designs and what peace means to you so please drop us a comment!

  • Design the new logo of peace!

    What images come to your mind when you think of peace? Is it a dove, an olive branch, or the CND logo? Each of these peace symbols are more than 50 years old!

    The peace logo needs to be re-invented to reflect today. We need a peace logo that is fresh, relevant, and global - and we want YOU to design it.

    Soldiers of Peace, a stunning new documentary film about peace and reconciliation, uses another symbol, the Escopetarra “machine-gun guitar” for peace (check it out at http://www.soldiersofpeacemovie.com ). But what is your idea? Upload your design and if your logo wins, the producers of Soldiers of Peace will fly you and a friend to the USA to attend the Global Symposium of Peaceful Nations in Washington DC in November, 2009 to sit with the movers and shakers of world peace.

    You need to think about peace, what it means to you and how to best capture peace using the amazing technologies now available. The design should reflect the importance of peace to our future survival, and the global way we relate to each other in the 21st Century.

    The competition will open on Monday 21 September 2009 (International Day of Peace) and will close on Sunday 04 October 2009.

  • Obama addresses U.N. General Assembly

    Rachel Oc von Rachel Oc
    UNITED NATIONS (CNN) -- President Obama made a forceful call Wednesday for a new era in global relations, urging the United Nations to move past old divisions and disputes to reassert itself as a leading force in confronting the most pressing issues. In his first speech as president to the U.N. General Assembly, Obama sought to distance his administration from the unilateral policies of his predecessor, while pledging a U.S. commitment to work with the United Nations in forging a better common future for all. http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/...

    Notice everyone is wearing Converse in the picture below.
    Not slagging, but that doesn't exactly advertise diversity...

    And if no one cared, who made this group? Who is in the group? What does the word treehugger mean? What about the people who are working to create world peace?

    Or did you not know about that.

    im sorry
    but all of these drawing's yeah thier good, but none represent the purpose of world peace. it's bs, a logo
    such as where people are all holding hands around the
    world would be a better one, cause it shows the world and the people around it, together as one family. just pure peace and love, not any of this other shit that apparently looks like a peace logo when it clearly isnt.

    changing the logo's not going to solve anything, its up to the people to get there act together.

    keep the old one.
    trust me.
