This year’s theme, “The Power of Communities,” celebrates how solidarity and collective action drive progress — especially in uncertain and challenging times. To help bring this theme to life across the world, a series of visual resources has been created to support organisers, particularly grassroots groups with limited design capacity or funding.
Feel free to:
- Use the official IDAHOBIT logo in your own graphics and materials;

Illustration
The central illustration for IDAHOBIT 2025 was created by Chilean queer artist Sofía Miranda Van den Bosch, with creative direction shaped by feedback from LGBTQIA+ communities around the world.
At the heart of the image is a large, nurturing tree — a powerful symbol of collective care, rootedness, and growth. Around the tree, people are shown supporting one another, creating, sharing knowledge, and taking action. Each moment of connection represents the quiet and radical power that our communities hold when we come together.
Instead of focusing on a single identity or flag, the illustration highlights our interdependence and shared values across differences. It honours the joy, strength, and resilience that live in our movements — and the importance of protecting and sustaining our connections, especially in difficult times.
The illustration is available in almost 80 languages and can be used freely in:
- Social media posts
- Event invitations and posters
- Reports, presentations, and newsletters
- Digital and printed banners
- Any other non-commercial use in line with IDAHOBIT’s values
Canva templates
For the first time, we are offering a set of editable Canva templates based on the main illustration. These templates are designed to make it easier for organisers to promote their events while keeping a consistent visual identity with the global mobilisation.
With each template, you can:
- Edit your own event title, subtitle, date, time, and location
- Add your logo(s)
- Export your version and share it across platforms
This way, you can highlight your local events and activities while staying connected to the shared energy of IDAHOBIT.

How to use the Canva templates for IDAHOBIT 2025
To make it easier for organisers to create cohesive and accessible visuals for their events, the IDAHOBIT Advisory Group has prepared a series of free Canva templates. These are aligned with this year’s visual identity and include editable fields for your event’s title, subtitle, date, time, location or link, and organiser logo(s).
Each template is easy to use—even if you have no design experience. You’ll only need a free Canva account to get started.
To ensure your design is effective and accessible, we recommend:
Keep titles and subtitles short and impactful
A short, memorable title will be more visually effective. If you need to share more information, you can include it in the caption of your post.
Include your time zone
Especially for online actions, adding the time zone helps participants know when and where to join.
Use logos with adequate spacing
Rectangles of 150 × 90 pixels were added to guide logo placement. If dragging and dropping your logo directly into the rectangle doesn’t replace it or doesn’t fit well:
- Upload your logo (hopefully with transparent background) and arrange it manually
- Remember to leave clear space around each logo to avoid visual clutter
- Delete all rectangles that were not replaced by a logo before exporting the image
Keep elements spaced out
Don’t overcrowd the design. Adequate spacing helps with readability and improves overall accessibility.
- Title: Nunito Black
- Subtitle: Nunito Bold
- WHEN and WHERE labels: Nunito Medium
- Date, time, location or link: Nunito Bold
- Text alignment: All content is left-aligned to improve readability and accessibility
- Logo placeholder: Sized at 150 × 90 px. Included to guide logo placement and should be deleted before exporting.
