SUNFO Logo

A logo is a symbol; and the symbol conveys what it stands for to the holder.

The logo tries at its best to impart the vision of the Sri Lanka-United Nations Friendship Organisation (SUNFO).

First to be focused in our minds is the world of which we are individually a part, of a great living body, continuously kept in motion for its sustenance and in which a person who is specially endowed with an intellect, must for his/her own happy existence, learn and strive to give his/her share to this natural order.

The sun looming above the globe is our sustainer, without which there would be no life on earth and it shines forth in all its glory to give us warmth.

The two hands gripping one another, of different colours representing the hands of all people, are locked to one another never to be torn apart and impart solidarity of another never to be torn apart and impart solidarity of purpose. The two olive branches set below is the universal symbol of peace. The ensign gives our identity.
