Geneva: The State of Qatar has unveiled the official logo for the International Telecommunication Union’s Plenipotentiary Conference (PP-26). This announcement was made during a presentation by the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) at the ITU Council meetings held in Geneva from June 17 to 27, 2025.

According to Qatar News Agency, this event marks a crucial step in Qatar’s preparations to host the conference, which is set to take place in Doha in November 2026. The Plenipotentiary Conference is ITU’s highest decision-making body, responsible for setting the organization’s strategic and financial directions. It also serves as a platform to address global issues related to spectrum management, digital standards, equitable connectivity, and regulatory foundations in the digital landscape.

CRA, in partnership with ITU, spearheaded the creative development of the logo to embody both Qatar’s national identity and the conference’s objectives. The logo was crafted in collaboration with national stakeholders and emphasizes Qatar’s cultural heritage and its vision for a connected digital future. A shell cradling a pearl is featured at the center of the logo, symbolizing Qatar’s legacy in pearl diving and maritime traditions, as well as prosperity, beauty, and heritage.

The pearl, also representing a central node, highlights digital connectivity and the conference’s role in shaping future global communications. This aligns with ITU’s mission of fostering digital transformation through international cooperation. The logo’s color palette includes Qatar’s national maroon, Al Adaam, and ITU’s Corporate Blue, creating a visual connection between Qatar’s identity and the international goals of the PP-26 conference.

Additionally, the design incorporates the number nine, referencing the nine triangles on the Qatari flag, which symbolize transformation and new beginnings. This aligns with the conference’s aim of developing future digital policies and global infrastructure. The logo will be the main element of the event’s visual identity and will be used in all promotional and logistical materials.
