【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2011 年 7 月 15 日羅馬慈幼會總部訊】 ─ 鮑思高誕辰二百週年慶典 (1815-2015) 籌備工作展開前一個月，慈幼傳意部推出了主題徽號及海報。在珍奈「鮑思高傳意藝術學院」(DBICA) 的合作下，圖案草稿得以完成。

八月十六日，籌備工作將正式展開，一如總會長查偉思神父於本年一月三十一日的信函中所述。在三年的籌備期中，慈幼會士將被邀請認識鮑思和他的神恩：生平歷史 (2011-2012)、教育法 (2012-2013) 和靈修 (2013-2014)。

為配合籌備工作，傳意部已準備一系列的宣傳圖樣，由三重徽號及三張海報組成。

單一設計的徽號，將在這三年的籌備期中，按每主題年在標示形態及用色上作出修改。鮑聖面容出現在一群青年之中，提醒人們他不斷把生命賜給他們；圍繞著 200 字樣的曲線，象徵山崗以及這位都靈聖人謙遜之源──「來自碧基的農耕少年」──以及他的夢境及理念帶領他所能達到的盡頭：救贖青年。

首張海報提醒人們三年籌備期的任務：認識鮑聖。海報右邊是鮑聖面容，是鮑思高神父死後由 Cellini 所製的亡者面模覆製而成，由此面模而用蠟製成的頭像仍保存在他的靈柩內，今天可在聖母進教之佑大殿內，以及在聖髑環遊世界旅程時看到。在總標題下附上第一階段標語，碧基小屋及「這是我的家」字句，提醒人們他的出身；他聆聽第二任繼承人歐培拉告解的情景 (1861)，提醒人們他首要的關注點：青年的得救。三張相片講述他生平的一些片段：樂隊 (1870) ─ 他仁愛的胸襟；派遣首批傳教士 (1875) ─ 修會傳教事業的開展；在 Martí-Codolar (1886) ─ 他服務青年的生命得以充分發揮。其餘兩款設計的海報，將陸續於未來兩年面世。

圖型設計工作由珍奈 DBICA 負責，尤其得到創意設計系主任 Harris Pakkam 神父及創意設計繪圖師 J. Sathish Paul 的協助。DBICA 是一所圖像及視覺藝術學院，專注媒體、設計、文化及藝術方面。學院於一九九七年成立，作為傳媒教育中心，涵蓋範圍包括：媒體專業培訓、研習及研究項目、視聽材料及短片製作。學院旨在透過各種形象藝術，讓人們更認識及愛慕鮑聖，引領印度青年，尤其貧苦無告者邁向他。

傳意部邀請各省會長及傳意代表，把徽號及海報刊載於本身的網頁上，並在這三年的誕辰二百週年慶典 2011-2014 籌備期中，作為推動本身活動之用。傳意委員 Filiberto Gonzalez 神父表示：「我希望這召叫，一如創會一百五十週年徽號的效力，幫助形成修會的共融，並強化我們對將要展開慶典理念的認識，以及一份認真的態度。」

六月份慈幼通訊圖片中的海報，有多種文字版本。sdb.org 網站已刊載了三款徽號及首張海報的檔案；在同一選項上，可要求提供其他文字版本的原檔。

On the way to the bicentenary: a logo and a poster

(ANS  - RMG –Rome, 15 July 2011) – A month before the start of the process of preparation for the celebration of the bicentenary of the birth of Don Bosco (1815-2015), the Department for Social Communication introduces a logo and a poster on the topic. The graphics have been produced thanks to the collaboration of the “Don Bosco Institute of Communication Arts” (DBICA) in Chennai.

On 16 August the process of preparation will officially as explained by the Rector Major Fr Chávez in his letter to the Salesians on 31 January 2011. A period of three years during which the Salesians are invited to know Don Bosco and his charism better: the life-history (2011-2012), the pedagogy (2012-2013) and the spirituality (2013-2014).

To accompany this process the Department for Social Communication has prepared a series of graphics composed of a three-fold logo and three posters.

The logo, which is a single design, will change during the three year period according to the year and the topic to which it refers and the colour. Don Bosco’s face, in the middle of the boys, recalls how his life was constantly given to them; the curved lines, round the 200 indicate the hills and the humble origin of the saint of Turin – “the peasant lad from the Becchi” – as well as the horizons towards which his dream and his mission would take him: the salvation of youth.

The poster, the first in the series, recalls the task for the three year period: get to know Don Bosco. On the right is a picture of the  face of  Don Bosco reproduced from the death mask made by Cellini after his death and from which a wax mask was made which today can be seen in the casket kept in the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians as well as in that travelling round the world. Under the general title are indicated the three years with the first stage emphasised. The little house at the Becchi, of which he said “this is my house,” recalls his origins; the scene of him hearing the confession of Paolo Albera (1861), his second successor, recalls his first concern: the salvation of the young. The three photographs recall some stages of his life: the band (1870): the breadth of his humanity; the first missionary expedition (1875): the missionary outreach of the Congregation; at Martí-Codolar (1886): his fully matured life spent at the service of the young. The other two versions of the poster will be available in the coming years.

The graphic work has been done  by the DBICA in Chennai, and in particular by Fr Harris Pakkam, as head of creative design and  J. Sathish Paul, graphic and creative designer. The DBICA is a school of graphic and visual arts very involved in the media field, in design, in culture and in art. Founded in 1997 as a centre for education in the mass media the areas it covers are: professional formation in the media field, offering seminars and research projects, the production of audiovisual material and the short film festival. Its main aim is to make Don Bosco known and loved through various kinds of figurative art, drawing the young people to him especially those poorest in India.

The Social Communication Department invites Provincials and SC Delegates to take the logo and the poster putting them on their own sites and using them for their own initiatives in the course of the three year period of preparation for the bicentenary year 2014-2015. “I hope that this initiative, as happened with the logo for the 150th, helps to bring out the unity of the Congregation and strengthens the idea and seriousness of what we are about the celebrate”, says Fr Filiberto Gonzalez, Councillor for Social Communication.

The poster, in the various languages is attached to the June ANSphoto. On the sdb.org sites the files of the three logos and the first poster are available; in the same section it is possible to request the original  files for adaptations in  other languages.
