Emblem
The IWY also launched the "dove" emblem used by the IWY, CEDAW, and UNIFIL. A stylized dove intersected by a female symbol and an equal sign, the emblem was donated by then 27 year old New York City advertising company graphic designer Valerie Pettis. It remains the official symbol of UN Women and is used in International Women's Day celebrations to this day.

Famous quotes containing the word emblem:
“Talking in bed ought to be easiest,
Lying together there goes back so far,
An emblem of two people being honest.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Pharisaism, obtuseness and tyranny reign not only in the homes of merchants and in jails; I see it in science, in literature, and among youth. I consider any emblem or label a prejudice.... My holy of holies is the human body, health, intellect, talent, inspiration, love and the most absolute of freedoms, the freedom from force and falsity in whatever forms they might appear.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“You’re the emblem of
The land I love,
The home of the free and the brave.”
—George M. Cohan (1878–1942)
