At the core of the symbol is a rock that vividly depicts the current realities while serving as a potent symbol of the unwavering resistance of millions of Ukrainians. Reflecting the spirit to safeguard their homeland and the right to shape their path, these symbols embody qualities of resilience, strength, and enduring legacy.

Color Scheme

For the Rebuild Ukraine Business Conference, the color scheme embodies future vision, trust, and innovation, aligning with the conference's goals of rebuilding and revitalizing the business landscape. The primary color is a vibrant Blue (#0B39F0), representing stability, reliability, and confidence. This hue serves as the dominant shade throughout the design, symbolizing strength and endurance.

Complementing the primary Blue is a subtle Gradient called "Rebuild Blue," with a base color of #0C0C0E and an opacity of 0%. This gradient adds depth and sophistication to the design, subtly transitioning between shades of Blue. It evokes a sense of depth and dynamism, reflecting the multifaceted nature of the conference's objectives.
