Logo for 150th Anniversary of 1st Salesian Missionary Expedition

Logo for the 150th Anniversary 
of the 1st Salesian Missionary Expedition


(ANS – Turin – Jan. 30, 2024)
 – Cardinal Angel Fernandez Artime has confirmed the choice of the logo for the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the 1st Salesian Missionary Expedition. 13 provinces submitted proposals to the logo competition, organized by the Congregation’s Missions Department, from which a 6-member commission selected the best logo according to predetermined criteria. The winning logo comes from the Czech Province and is the work of artist Martina Moncekova.

The artist wanted to represent the globe crossed by waves which symbolize courage and new challenges, but also energy and boldness. At the center is a ship, symbol of the 1st Missionary Expedition, on whose sail there is a reference to the Salesian logo and, at the same time, the fire of a renewed missionary enthusiasm. The shape of the wheel alludes to unity and mutual connection.

The logo may be used for preparations for the 2025 anniversary, but only in the official version without making any changes or alterations to any part of the logo. The logo is available to anyone in the five language variants and in different formats. It can be downloaded below, or requested by email at cagliero11@sdb.org
