431            <h3>The thinking behind the FESTMIH logo</h3>
432<p>We know it’s bad to cut down trees, but the tropical tree just wasn’t entirely representative anymore in the light of Global Health and the Sustainable Development Goals.&nbsp;</p>
433<p>Our new logo stands for what FESTMIH aims to be in future:</p>
434<ul><li>At the heart of it is the red circle, referring to ‘global health,’ including tropical medicine and&nbsp;research, but also to a round table of dialogue and collaboration.</li><li>In the circle are many lines, representing the great diversity of actors within FESTMIH of different ages, professions and countries.</li><li>
434The circle is open, because FESTMIH aims to be inclusive, open to other actors and networks. The circle also represents the rippling of water, since we want to contribute to change, change towards Global Health, together with other networks. Finally, the circle also represents a maze, referring to research, whether state-of-the art or local action-research.&nbsp;</li><li>The text-balloon: dialogue reveals the importance of talking to each other.</li></ul>
