--- title: "World Albatross Day 2020 Logos & Posters" --- # World Albatross Day 2020 Logos & Posters ## World Albatross Day logos The design of the [World Albatross Day 2020](https://www.acap.aq/en/world-albatross-day/introduction-to-world-albatross-day) [official logo](https://www.acap.aq/en/latest-news/3412-world-albatross-day-adopts-an-official-logo) is based on a blue, all-water globe to emphasize that albatrosses are ocean wanderers *non pareil*.  It also symbolically is not “hemispherecentric” since albatrosses occur and breed in both northern and southern hemispheres which is also why no continents are shown.  The outline of a flying albatross is that used by ACAP on its own logo to provide a recognizable link to the Agreement. The logo was designed *pro bono* by Geoffry Tyler, a South African commercial artist based in Cape Town*.*ACAP's Information Officer was put in touch with Geoffry by Michelle Risi, currently undertaking her second year of field work without a break on [Gough Island](https://www.acap.aq/en/news/news-archive/60-2013-news-archive/1322-acap-breeding-sites-no-11-gough-island-south-atlantic-hanging-on-against-the-onslaught-of-its-killer-mice?highlight=WyJnb3VnaCIsImdvdWdoJ3MiLCInZ291Z2gnIiwiaXNsYW5kIiwiaXNsYW5kJ3MiLCJpc2xhbmQnIiwiJ2lzbGFuZCciLCJubyIsIidubyIsImdvdWdoIGlzbGFuZCIsImlzbGFuZCBubyJd) (and a member of the Agreement’s World Albatross Day Intersessional Group). Leo Tamini of [Aves Argentinas](https://www.avesargentinas.org.ar/) kindly arranged for designer Manuel Riestra to change the script for the Spanish version *pro bono*. Two further logos for 'WAD2020'  were designed by Brazilian NGO [Projeto Albatroz](https://www.acap.aq/en/latest-news/3456-brazil-s-projeto-albatroz-is-helping-promote-world-albatross-day?highlight=WyJwcm9qZXRvIiwiYWxiYXRyb3oiLCJhbGJhdHJveidzIiwicHJvamV0byBhbGJhdHJveiJd), with the help of its founder Tatiana Neves, who  has worked closely with the Agreement since its inception. The last logo below is by *[Artists and Biologists Unite for Nature](https://www.facebook.com/groups/ABUN4Nature)*  artist, Anju Rajesh. All five logos may be used by interested individuals and organizations to support their own activities and events planned for World Albatross Day on 19 June.  It will be appreciated if the logos are accompanied by the inclusion of the Agreement's name and website ([www.acap.aq](https://www.acap.aq)). *Updated 26 April 2020* ![WAD Logo](https://www.acap.aq/images/stories/acap/Logos/WAD_Logo.png) ![WAD2020 Spanish logo lo qual](https://www.acap.aq/images/stories/acap/Logos/WAD2020_Spanish_logo_lo-qual.jpeg)  ![logo1](https://www.acap.aq/images/stories/acap/Logos/logo1.jpg) ![logo2](https://www.acap.aq/images/stories/acap/Logos/logo2.jpg) ![Anju Rajesh WAD2020 shrunk](https://www.acap.aq/images/WAD/Anju_Rajesh_WAD2020_shrunk.jpg) *Created by [ABUN](https://www.facebook.com/groups/ABUN4Nature) artist, Anju Rajesh* [Lees meer...](https://www.acap.aq/wad2020-posters/world-albatross-day-logos.md) ## World Albatross Day 2020 poster by Owen Davey ![Owen Davey](https://www.acap.aq/images/stories/acap/People/Owen_Davey.jpg) The 'official' World Albatross Day poster was especially created by illustrator Owen Davey at ACAP's request.  Owen has written in support of 'WAD2020': “It is immensely important to preserve the diversity of animal life on our planet and minimise the impact we have on it.  Sadly, thousands of albatrosses have suffered as a direct result of humans and our unsustainable and short-sighted use of the planet's resources.  Conservation efforts often have to begin with education, increasing public awareness of key issues facing these creatures.  By informing people on how to make better choices as consumers and voters, we can begin to reduce our negative influence on their natural lifestyles.  I'm so the pleased that my poster design for [World Albatross Day 2020](https://www.acap.aq/en/world-albatross-day/introduction-to-world-albatross-day) can be used to try to bring about positive change and highlight the need to protect these majestic birds.” To enquire about obtaining a high-resolution print of the poster contact his website at [https://owendavey.com/](https://owendavey.com/). With thanks to Michelle Risi for initiating the contact with Owen.  Read more [here](https://www.acap.aq/en/latest-news/3464-award-winning-illustrator-owen-davey-creates-a-poster-for-world-albatross-day-2020?highlight=WyJvd2VuIiwiZGF2ZXkiLCJkYXZleSdzIiwib3dlbiBkYXZleSJd). ![Poster Owen Davey FINAL](https://www.acap.aq/images/stories/acap/Posters_Books/Poster_Owen_Davey_FINAL.png) *03 April 2020* [Lees meer...](https://www.acap.aq/wad2020-posters/world-albatross-day-2020-poster-by-owen-davey.md) ## World Albatross Day 2020 posters from Artists & Biologists Unite for Nature ![ABUN text logo](https://www.acap.aq/images/stories/acap/Logos/ABUN_text_logo.jpg)  The following eight World Albatross Day 2020 posters come from ACAP's [collaboration](https://www.acap.aq/index.php/en/world-albatross-day/images-and-artwork/76-artists-biologists-unite-for-nature-and-acap-collaborate-over-world-albatross-day-2020) with Artists & Biologists Unite for Nature ([ABUN](https://www.facebook.com/groups/ABUN4Nature/)) over January and February 2020.  With thanks to ABUN artists Mary Ingrum, Jan Phethean, Di Roberts, [Maureen Rousseau](https://www.acap.aq/en/latest-news/3547-mary-ingrum-mixed-media-artist-creates-plight-of-the-albatross), Marion Schön, Anne Shoemaker and to ABUN founder, [Kitty Harvill](http://www.birdingart.com/pages/harvill/kittyharvill.html).  [Ruth Cooper](https://www.bizcommunity.com/Profile/RuthCooper) kindly designed the posters for ACAP.  Read more about the ABUN collaboration [here](https://www.acap.aq/en/latest-news/3486-artists-biologists-unite-for-nature-and-acap-collaborate-over-this-year-s-world-albatross-day?highlight=WyJhYnVuIiwiYWJ1bidzIl0=).
