I found this on the United Nations website:
http://www.un.org/depts/dhl/maplib/flag.html
Turns out, one just can't be using the UN emblem (and flag) for any 'ole reason -- one has to get permission. It's the UN!

EMBLEM |
|
Description:
The current United Nations emblem was approved on 7 December 1946. The design is "a map of the world representing an azimuthal equidistant projection centred on the North Pole, inscribed in a wreath consisting of crossed conventionalized branches of the olive tree, in gold on a field of smoke-blue with all water areas in white. The projection of the map extends to 60 degrees south latitude, and includes five concentric circles".
Symbolism:
Olive branches symbolize peace. The world map depicts the area of concern to the United Nations in achieving its main purpose, peace and security.
Use:
The use of the emblem is restricted, based on General Assembly resolution 92(I),1946. |
