Logo and Song for a Summer of Love

A contest launched by the Young Communist League (UJC in Spanish) made it possible to select the logo and the musical theme that will accompany the Cuban people during the months of July and August.

Luis Manuel Acosta Dieppa, an instructor of plastic arts in Diez de Octubre municipality, Havana, was the winner of the logo presented for this Summer with Love.

The song selected for Summer 2023 was written by Ron con Cola, a musical group that has been an active part of the Cuban alternative music scene for seven years.

For the second year in a row, the organization supports this necessary theme for the summer season through a contest that always relies on the successful response of the artists.

Danay Armand Solano, Senior Specialist of the National Communications Team of the UJC, told Radio Enciclopedia that during the call for entries, which was open between April 15 and May 15 of this year, a total of 26 musical themes and 9 logos were received.

«On behalf of the country’s agencies and organizations, we thank all those who submitted their work for evaluation by a jury made up of prestigious creators, under the premise that with love everything is possible,» stressed Armand Solano.

The jury was made up of communicators and designers from the member organizations of the National Recreation Committee, as well as professionals from the Higher Institute of Design and the Cuban Institute of Music.

Both winning works will identify the activities of Summer 2023, and in the case of the song, it will be recognized at the National Copyright Center and recorded with an accompanying video clip.
