About WWF

A simplified, high-contrast black silhouette of a standing panda composed of rounded blocks: a circular head with two solid ear shapes, teardrop eye patches, a small nose and mouth suggestion, and a rounded body with two front legs. The illustration uses negative space and simplified curves to imply facial features and posture rather than detail.

Beneath the panda sits a bold, uppercase wordmark reading "WWF" in a heavy sans-serif style. The whole mark is monochrome (black on white) and designed for strong, immediate recognition at a variety of sizes.

WWF Logo History

This panda mark is the long-established logo of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). The panda symbol was first adopted in 1961 and was inspired by the panda Chi-Chi; the original concept was created by Sir Peter Scott. The mark has been simplified over time into the current high-contrast silhouette and is a registered trademark of WWF.
