Summary[edit]
| Description |
This is the logo for World Council of Churches. Further details: The logo of the World Council of Churches and the ecumenical movement; the WCC permits other Christian ecumenical organizations to use the icon to represent their work. The red logo depicts a Christian cross on top of an abstracted boat on the sea with the word "oikoumene" arching above the cross. The boat and cross was a symbol used by the ecumenical movement before the WCC began in 1948 and invokes both the story of the calling of the Disciples by Jesus when they were fishing and the story of Jesus calming the storm while at sea. The word "oikoumene" comes from the Greek and means "the whole inhabited earth;" the word "ecumenical" derives from it. |

| Portion used |
The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. |
| Low resolution? |
This is an SVG vector image of a registered trademark or a copyright-protected logo, seal or computer icon. This image should not be rendered any larger than is required for the purposes of identification and/or critical commentary. The default rendering of this image is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution. |
| Purpose of use |
The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing World Council of Churches, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey. |
| Replaceable? |
Because it is a non-free logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary. |
| Other information |
