The logo

The logo of the Carrot Festival is inspired by the Tradition of Liopetri and specifically by the art of basket weaving. The shape results from the combination of the shapes of the basket and the carrot. It combines different ways of knitting, which symbolize: agriculture (green color), water - Liopetri River (blue color) and the very art of basket weaving (brown color).

It was designed by Niki's Bookshop and the graphic designer, Agamemnon Honey.
