这是一枚国际家庭年的正式标志——一颗心上有一张屋顶覆盖,两者另与一颗心连结。它不仅象征着生命和爱,而且还象征着家庭、温暖、关怀、安全、团聚和容忍。 这样一个简单的形象设计还具有开放的意味,象征着家庭作为社会基石的概念,也显示了个体和连续性以及少许的不确知性。 瑞士艺术家Catherine Littasy—Rollier的这一简单设计,被认为是可以成为复杂的家庭观念的抽象符号。 This is the official sign of an International Year of the Family - a heart has a roof covering, the other with a heart linked. It not only symbolizes life and love but also symbolizes family, warmth, caring, security, reunion and tolerance. Such a simple image design is also open-minded, symbolizing the notion of family as the cornerstone of society, as well as individual and continuity, and a little uncertainty. This simple design of the Swiss artist Catherine Littasy-Rollier is considered an abstract symbol that can become a complex family concept.
