The League of Samba Schools (LIESA ) has launched a new logo to be used at Rio’s carnival, and during the parades that will now take place on 22 and 23 April.

“Rio Carnaval” is imagined to reflect the movement of the “porta-bandeira”, the school’s standard-bearer, from above. It is the work of one of Brazil’s leading design agencies, Tátil Design, that was involved in developing the logo marks for the 2016 Rio Olympics.
