About the WCC logo Background The word “oikoumene” comes from the Greek word “oikos” meaning house. Its English equivalent is “ecumenical”. In modern usage, it signifies the whole household of faith, all races, all nations, all the churches. The ecumenical symbol was in use even before the inauguration of the WCC in 1948, and has taken several stylized variations since then. In 2001, the WCC adopted a redesigned logo in red, signalling that the WCC is looking to the future with renewed purpose and energy. Use of the WCC logo While this is the official logo of the WCC, other ecumenical organizations or agencies that share the Christian vision and values of the WCC may use or adapt the logo to their needs. In no case is the logo allowed to be used by non-related organizations or for any commercial purposes. The WCC requires other organizations to request permission to use the logo. Technical parameters Standard versions of the logo incorporating the WCC name in English and in other working languages of the WCC are available and should be used when the name of the organization is attached. |
