As required by the statute, the new symbol guarantees unity of image and institutional communication.

The logo represents the Institution in its entirety, the unification of different realities (Gran Bosco di Salbertrand Natural Park, Val Troncea Natural Park, Orsiera-Rocciavrè Natural Park, Avigliana Lakes and Chianocco and Foresto Ravines Natural Park, SIC and finally the Colombano Romean ecomuseum).

It is the result of collaboration with the "Luigi Des Ambrois" Higher School Institute of Oulx and with the great Turin artist and publisher, Ezio Gribaudo and is the result of a competition which evaluated more than 70 sketches.

The winner was the student Luca Rubella with an idea considered "the right synthesis of visibility and modernity".

The final logo adds, to the initial proposal of the student Luca Rubella, a piece of the work "Geographie presente" (1991) by Ezio Gribaudo, visible in the central white part.
