Dale of Norway has entered into an agreement with the Red Cross in Norway, and has developed a symbolic sporty design, which will have international appeal. Solferino is the village, where the battle in 1859 found place, and Henry Dunant (the founder of the Red Cross), got the idea about organized help to refugees. Red Cross, founded in 1919, is the world's largest humanitarian organization, providing assistance without discrimination to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. Their mission is to improve the situation of the most vulnerable people. Red Cross has seven ideologies in their movement, symbolized by VII in the design's border; these are: humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity and universality. This symbol could also be read inverted as IV, and this symbolizes the four times Red Cross has received the Nobel Peace Prize. The doves are another well-known symbol for peace. The border is put together in rectangular forms to visualize the Red Cross logo. The star in the center shows how Red Cross brings light in a dark situation for many people in need, and hope is symbolized with the stretching to the stars - power of humanity. The figures in front stand for the humanity, whose purpose is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples. The design is composed in a sporty and modern manner, and will be offered in both contemporary and traditional coloring.
