About onu
A flat, monochrome blue emblem on a white background. At the centre is a simplified world map shown in a circular polar (azimuthal) projection with concentric latitude/longitude grid lines; the landmasses are solid blue silhouettes. Surrounding the circle is a pair of stylized olive branches that form a wreath, their stems crossing at the bottom.
The design is symmetric and emblematic, using a single blue tone for all graphic elements and no text. Lines and shapes are clean and geometric, producing a heraldic, institutional appearance.
