COP15 LOGO BY NR2154

01
As you may know, the United Nations Climate Change Conference will be hosted in Copenhagen Dec 7-18.  What you may not know, is that the logo was designed by our buddies on the 2nd floor, Jacob Wildschiødtz and Troels Faber.   “The logo symbolizes the earth – the blue planet.  It’s also a network of lines – each representing a UN nation.  The lines can represent communication, negotiations, scientific data of temperature, co2 levels and so forth.  Either way it’s all connected and its all happening on this one world”.  – NR2154.  More on COP15.
