The winner of the competition for the logo "Pinsk - the cultural capital of Belarus 2019"was determined. The work of the local Illustrator Victor Saganovich is recognized as the best. 

The Central part of the logo repeats the city plan and symbolizes its cultural and historical heritage. White rays schematically reflect the main directions of Pinsk streets. Behind them in the author's drawing shows the main attractions of the capital of Polesie. The composition is crowned with a bird-flower made in the color scheme of the city emblem-as a symbol of arts, folk traditions and crafts. The blue background reminds of the proximity of the river.
