The new logo consolidates and simplifies the most important symbols of the old ASPnet Logo:
- an open book (education) which also evokes
- The wings of a dove (peace)
- The globe (symbolizing intercultural dialogue)

Why A New Logo?

To follow the new UNESCO Guidelines concerning the use of logos
The ASPnet logo must always be 'twinned' with the UNESCO logo
