The Meaning of the World Trade Organization Logo

This means that a dynamic WTO will play a key role in expanding world trade in a lasting and orderly way. The sphere composed of six arcs shows that the WTO is an international institution composed of different members.

The logo is a long-term dynamic symbol of the vitality of the WTO. The designer of the logo is Ms. Yang Shu from Singapore. Her design adopts the strokes of China traditional calligraphy, and the six arcs have the charm of writing brush calligraphy.
