The official logo of the Rwenzori Abruzzi celebrations...

Is the representation of the earth with the snow on the Rwenzori Mountains at the Equator (you can see the 0 degree on the orange line).You can also notice that both the flags of Uganda and Italy are represented by a number of small circles colored with black, red, yellow, white, green that are the colors of the two flags. I believe it is a nice and original work because it is harmonious, it represent recent and old concepts, is modern, innovative and can be easily understood.
