The logo for his visit to Myanmar depicts Pope Francis releasing a white dove from within a heart drawn in the colors of Myanmar’s flag: yellow, green, and red.

An outline of Myanmar’s landmass sits beside the Pope within the heart, while the motto for his journey is shown above: “Love & Peace”.

Here is the official description and meaning of the logo:

The shape of the logo is a heart. The common ground of the Christianity and Buddhism is Love. It is this concept that creates mutual respect and acceptance between the Christians and the Buddhists.

The ribbons that form the shape of the heart are two flags: one is of Vatican (yellow and white) and the other (yellow, green and red) is of Myanmar.

The map of Myanmar is colorfully painted like a rainbow. It signifies the multi ethnicity of Myanmar; it has eight major tribes and another 135 ethnic groups with different languages, dialects and culture.

The Holy Father with a dove says that the Holy Father is the messenger of peace.
