The Brazilian government has unveiled the logo that will be used as part of the country’s BRICS chairmanship; it will be the sumauma cotton tree, which grows in the Amazon rainforest, according to the Brazilian government’s website.

The future logo, published on the government website, is a multi-colored tree depicted on a blue background. The color range of wood includes colors such as red, green, blue, yellow and orange. Under the tree itself is written “BRICS. Brazil 2025” in Latin letters.

“Using as inspiration colors based on the colors of the BRICS flags and the palette of the giant Amazon rainforest, the President of Brazil unveils the logo for the 2025 BRICS Chairmanship,” a statement published on the country’s government website said.
