Logo
A special logo featuring the mention ‘In support of the International Day of the Intangible Cultural Heritage’ has been issued. This logo should only be used on communication material for events and activities that are directly related to the observance of this International Day, and to be organized in October 2026. It should not be used for obtaining commercial or financial gain, nor in a way that falsely suggests UNESCO’s endorsement. The logo should be used in its entirety and should not be altered in any way. UNESCO does not assume any responsibility or liability for the use of the dedicated logo in support of the International Day of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. See Logo Use Guidelines for more details: inglés|francés.
The use of the International Day of the Intangible Cultural Heritage logo should not be confused with that of the 2003 Convention emblem which remains subject to a standard procedure.
