World Meeting of Families is a religious event held every 3 years to “‘celebrate the divine gift of the family and to unite families in prayer, speaking, learning, sharing’ and getting deeper into the comprehension of the role that the Christian family plays as a domestic church and the basis of evangelization.”

The organizer has unveiled the official logo design for the 6th celebration which will take place in January 13-18, 2009 in Mexico. The new logo features a group of shadows representing the members of the family, three hearts in between each character, and symbol of the crucifix above the image. The overall theme of the event is “The family: teacher of human and Christian values.”

Just like many religious logos with simple designs, it contains deeper meaning. According to organizers:

The cross represents the presence of God as the support of the unity of the family and the three hearts unite or represent the family united by love and relationships. The attitude of the members of the family is one of trust and joy in the Lord,” the organizers explained.

Also, the color symbolizes Mexico as well as hope. If you’re eyes are keen enough, you will notice that the shadow image of the mother is pregnant. Again, it embodies the most significant event celebrated by every family.
