World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24

<h2>About the WRE Bahamas 24 Logo</h2>
&nbsp;
The host nation, the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, inspires the narrative behind the design of the World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24 logo.
&nbsp;
The blue background is indicative of our lush clear Bahamian waters.
&nbsp;
The festive, colourful portion reminds us of our vibrant culture and national festival, Junkanoo (a Bahamian cultural celebration inclusive of dance and music, a true celebration of freedom. Junkanoo was how enslaved people expressed themselves during the Christmas holiday season. The tradition continued after emancipation from slavery, and today is a formal and organized parade with intricate costumes, music, and prizes that attract Bahamians and tourists alike).
&nbsp;
The bold, gold border represents our nation&rsquo;s athletic success and The Bahamas&rsquo; 50th Golden Jubilee of Independence.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Embedded in the centre of the design is the sun, representing the warmth of Bahamian people and our beautiful climate.
&nbsp;
The shape of the design is a "W" representing the World, with an arch connecting both points at the top, symbolizing how sports unite us globally.
&nbsp;
Using the baton in the relay symbolizes succession and progress, with the race moving forward.
