The graphical idea of the logo originated from the chairman’s inspiration of the layout of the grand ancient Roman port of Claudius (1° century AD) with its semicircular planshape and its island breakwater.

Yet, with the assistance of an expert graphic Mauro Anelli a number of varied versions were developed.

After much work, we found a logo that represented the Conference, using colours and shapes that remind us of the port and of a protective barrier.
