Yaroslavl city logo

Founded in the 11th century, Yaroslavl is one of the oldest and most beautiful Russian cities. Its historic center is located at the meeting point of two rivers—Volga and Kotorosl—and included in the UNESCO List of World Heritage Sites. The modern logo of the city is not meant to replace its traditional symbols (coat of arms, flag and mascot), but rather is designed to have its own applications.

Anatomy of the logo: Medvezhy Ugol (Bear Corner), near which the city was founded, an arrow signifying the merger of the two rivers, Я, the first letter of the Russian name of the city, as well as a Russian personal pronoun I
