Could you say something about the logo of the event?

What is the motto of the papal visit? What does the official logo of the visit mean? Is it possible to obtain it and use elsewhere, or are there any rules for using?

Motto and logo of the papal visit express its theme and spirit as well as general Christian attitude. The motto is Love of Christ is our strength. Christianity doesn't want to push itself by power, it doesn't struggle for gaining dominance over anyone. It respects freedom of every person, but it is strong and firm, longing to win over evil through the power of love.

The logo expresses that we are bearers of the tradition of Prince Wenceslaus (represented by a heraldic symbol of eagle), patron saint of the Czech nation, who promoted Christian values. We stand by his flag that waves above us as a sign of our nation's spiritual life. The flag's spear is directed upwards, to permanent values and noble aims, and it bears colours of the Czech Republic (blue - red - white) and of the Vatican (gold - white), because the journey is also a state visit. The Czech society is to host one of the most significant persons of the world, head of the Catholic Church.
