It's official. The logo has been chosen for WYD Madrid 2011."It depicts the youth of the world coming together to celebrate their faith with the Pope, at the foot of the Cross and forming a crown of the Virgin of Almudena (patroness of Madrid).
After reviewing all the submitted possibilities, the official WYD 2011 logo has been chosen. Jose Gil-Nogues, a graphic designe working in Madrid and Oviedo Spain, created the logo according to the stipulations presented by the committee.
The crown shows an M for Mary, and also Madrid. The Cross, the sign of the Christian, presides at this meeting of the Pope with the youth."
Red, orange and yellow were used to show the warmth of Madrid and the Spanish culture. The colors were also chosen to reflect the warmth of God's love.
