Evolution of the Panda Logo
In 1961, Chi-Chi, the first giant panda to live in the West, was a sensation at the London Zoo. Chi-Chi brought people together in discovering, and caring about, the amazing species of the world. From that inspiration, Gerald Watterson, an environmentalist and artist, created a number of panda sketches that WWF founder Sir Peter Scott developed into the first version of the logo known worldwide today. Just as WWF’s work has evolved from the initial vision of funding species conservation to a complex global effort that protects species, places and the people who share them, that first panda sketch has evolved into an international symbol for conservation—both for today and for generations to come.
