Reverse descriptionWorld Youth Day Logo. Ambar Calvo, a 20-year old college student at Panama University, designed the logo for WYD Panama 2019. Selected from the logo contest convened by Pope Francis, Calvo`s design is rich with Catholic symbolism. Mary is at the center of the Panama 2019 logo. The crown of Mary has five points showing the five continents that will send pilgrims to WYD. The Panama Canal stands out in the logo, both representing the host country`s most famous landmark and symbolizing the path of the pilgrim who finds in Mary on the way to meet Jesus. The silhouette of the Panamanian Isthmus is meant to communicate to place of welcome.
