The logo was created for the event with the goal of being as simple and inclusive as possible.

on the outside, stylized semicircles that recall the shapes of the rowing ergometer, and on the inside, the shape of an athlete divided into the four main parts of the body.

Each shape has been assigned a color that recalls a word connected to the mental and physical health of the body:

Blue , the awareness of our potential and who we are.

Red represents resilience , to overcome, adapt to changes and take control of your life again

Green is rebirth for the return to life and our strength.

Finally, yellow represents confidence , the self-belief that we can do it and overcome any obstacle with the strength of our mind.
