About the Congress Logo

The logo for the 10th World Congress of Psycho-Oncology was designed by renowned Spanish silk designer, Sara Die Trill.  Following the logo below is her explanation of its meaning.

“Each circle represents a different racial or ethnic group of the world:  Arabs are represented by the blue circles; Asians are represented by yellow; Black people by brown; Europeans and Anglosaxons by white; Indians and Hindus by pink; and every other ethnic or minority group is represented by orange.  Circles are concentric but not symmetrical, illustrating cultural diversity.  Each group of circles contains a dot of varying size and color, representing cancer.  The size, color and position of each dot varies because cancer does not affect everyone in the same way.  Sometimes the tumor is larger and more aggressive; other times it is smaller and more localized.

All circles are intertwined, representing the union of all cultures in their fight against cancer.  Unity of all cultures increases their strength in fighting the battle against the disease.  Common efforts lead to a rising hope of finding a new solution.  Such hope is represented by the green background of the logo.”
