Doha, June 18 (QNA) - The State of Qatar has unveiled the official logo of the International Telecommunication Union’s Plenipotentiary Conference (PP-26), during a presentation delivered today by the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) at the ITU Council meetings held in Geneva from Jun. 17 to 27 2025. 

This milestone marks a significant step in the country’s preparations to host the conference, which is scheduled to take place in Doha in November 2026. As ITU’s highest decision-making body, the Plenipotentiary Conference sets the organization’s strategic and financial directions for the coming years and serves as a pivotal platform to address global priorities related to spectrum management, digital standards, equitable connectivity and regulatory foundations of a rapidly evolving digital landscape.  

In partnership with ITU, CRA led the creative development of the logo to reflect both Qatar’s national identity and the objectives of the conference. The final logo design was developed in close coordination with relevant national stakeholders and highlights Qatar’s rich cultural heritage and its vision for a connected digital future. At its center is a shell cradling a pearl, symbolizing the country’s long-standing legacy in pearl diving and maritime traditions, while evoking notions of prosperity, beauty, and heritage. 

The pearl, also representing a central node, symbolizes digital connectivity and the role of the conference in shaping the future of global communications. This element aligns with ITU’s mission fostering digital transformation for all through international cooperation. The logo’s color palette illustrates this narrative by prominently featuring Qatar’s national maroon, Al Adaam, complemented by ITU’s Corporate Blue. Together, these colors form a visual bridge linking Qatar’s national identity with the international aspirations of the PP-26 conference.  

The design also includes the number nine, a nod to the nine triangles on the Qatari flag, symbolizing transformation and new beginnings, in line with the conference’s goal of charting the course for future digital policies and global infrastructure. The logo will serve as the primary element of the event’s visual identity and will be used across all promotional and logistical materials. (QNA)
