UNDP Logo

About UNDP

The logo is composed of two stacked sections on a UN‑blue square background. The upper half features the white United Nations emblem: a polar azimuthal equidistant globe with meridian/parallel grid lines, centered inside a pair of stylized laurel/olive branches. The emblem is rendered flat and centered with clear white strokes.

The lower half is divided into four equal blue tiles (2x2) separated by thin black dividers; each tile contains a single large, white, sans‑serif capital letter: U, N, D, P (arranged left-to-right, top-to-bottom). The overall style is flat, geometric, and highly contrasting (white on blue).

What's in it: globe laurel/olive branches letter tiles (U, N, D, P)

Shapes: square (overall) circle/globe laurel wreath grid lines (latitude/longitude) 2x2 tile layout

Text in logo: UNDP

Global scope and UN affiliation (globe within laurel wreath evokes the United Nations); the four-letter tile wordmark identifies the agency acronym and conveys a structured, institutional identity.
