A colourful graphic of shattered colours of pale blue, dark blue, pink, purple, lilac and mauve, that conveys the celebration of the Universal Postal Union (UPU)'s 150th anniversary, with respect for diversity and communication between people. On a blue field in the centre is the United Nation's logo of the UPU, i.e. a white cartoon of a globe surrounded by people holding letters while reaching out to each other, flanked by olive branches. Underneath it is a Thai text describing the anniversary of the establishment of the UN's Specialized Agency, 150 years ago, on 9 October 1874. In the bottom right corner is the Thai national flag, known in Thai as thong trai rong.
