With this image, the message continues to be the same but human figures are present in it, connected, and through them we can make visible the reality of people affected by Chagas disease around the world.

The message that we intend to transmit with this image is the transmission force of the messages through the shock waves of the networks (reflected in the Wi-Fi symbol) representing the world as an expansive starting trigger at the central point.

Chagas disease today coexists with the COVID-19 pandemic. From the reality we are living, our communication resources are being more virtual than ever.
The phrase “Chagas connect @” is present in all three proposals to encourage and invite people to connect with “Chagas” and its realities.
The message that we intend to convey is a world in connection, embraced, surrounded and trapped by social networks. Through them we can make visible the reality of people affected by Chagas disease throughout the world.

The logo (with 3 versions) was elaborated by María de los Angeles Vargas, with the support and advice of the team of Chaochagaschile.cl (http://chaochagaschile.cl/) and the Communication Centre of the Universidad Autónoma de Chile.
The proposal brings together a family, different people, in different conditions and ages who can be affected by Chagas disease. In any part of the world there could be a person affected by Chagas.
Chagas is and should be a global concern as it affects its population. People move and human mobility has made visible Chagas on the planet. This is why man sustains the world.
The girl holds in her hands a magnifying glass where the Trypanosoma cruzi are observed, they are visible.
Chagas disease has been made invisible and this magnifying glass allows us to get closer and observe what we can detect in the blood. We not only see the parasites but the people affected.
The obviously pregnant woman raises her voice and tells the world that Chagas exists. Women of childbearing age and pregnant women should be a priority.
The world hears, sees and recognizes Chagas and the people affected by it.
Author (2 versions): It was elaborated by Ivan Pasanau, Barcelona.
The proposal revolves around the house, as a meeting place and social space to share and live, in turning it into an image of a safe and happy place.
The brown and green colors are identified with the autochthonous colors, which together with the rest, make up the hope in the form of the sun (yellow) on the back.

The megaphone is a device to increase the volume or sound, to spread the voice. We propose this great megaphone for April 14, to expand our voice to all, to make known our struggle with and for Chagas, to show that we are not only remote, stigmatized people. We live and transmit our experiences in a different and friendly way so that everyone knows that we are not alone. I finish with something I always said since I found out that I have Chagas: Chagas does not discriminate between social class, age or origin. Basically the logo proposal is friendly for that reason, it does not have to be structured or stigmatized. It seeks to show the other side of Chagas. (Ruth’s words)

Se usan los colores básicos de comprensión universal: azul-océanos; verde-América; blanco – para no caracterizar ninguna raza concreta; marrón- los triatominos.
Versión 1: Una persona utiliza unas de las formas de eliminación del triatomino. El hecho de que haya solo una figura humana se debe al objetivo de no llenar demasiado la ilustración
Versión 2: Dos personas dialogan sobre la cuestión del triatomino a través de las dos burbujas. Representa la necesidad de información compartida.
Versión 3: Una persona muestra una señal de “prohibido triatomino” representando una forma de prevenir la expansión de la infección. El hecho de que haya solo una figura humana se debe al objetivo de no llenar demasiado la ilustración.

El diseño propuesto alrededor de una casa, como lugar de encuentro y centro social para compartir y convivir, transformándola en una imagen de lugar seguro y feliz.
Los colores marrón y verde se identifican con colores autóctonos, que en conjunto con el resto de la imagen, forman la esperanza representada por el sol (en Amarillo) en la parte posterior.
El logo (con 3 versiones) fue realizado por María de los Ángeles Vargas, con el apoyo y asesoría del equipo de Chaochagaschile.cl (http://chaochagaschile.cl/) y el Centro de Comunicación de la Universidad Autónoma de Chile.
La propuesta presenta a una familia en conjunto, de personas de edades y condiciones diferentes que pueden estar afectados por la enfermedad de Chagas. En cualquier parte del mundo podría haber una persona afectada.
El Chagas es y debe ser una preocupación global en la medida que afecta a su población. Los movimientos migratorios de las personas han hecho visible al Chagas en el planeta. Dichos movimientos son parte de la acción de los seres humanos en el mundo.
La joven sostiene en sus manos una lente de aumento donde se observa el
Tripanosoma cruzi, haciéndolo así visible a la enfermedad a través de la representación de esta lente de aumento que nos permite observar de cerca lo que se puede detectar en la sangre. Significa que no solo vemos el parásito sino a las personas afectadas.
La mujer visiblemente embarazada alza su voz y dice que el Chagas existe. Las mujeres en edad fértil y las mujeres embarazadas deben ser una prioridad.
El mundo escucha, mira y reconoce a las personas afectadas por Chagas.

El megáfono es un instrumento para aumentar el volumen del sonido, para difundir la voz. Proponemos este gran megáfono para el 14 de abril, para expandir nuestra voz a todos/as, y para dar a conocer nuestra lucha con y por el Chagas, para mostrar que no somos personas remotas ni estigmatizadas. Vivimos y transmitimos nuestras experiencias de un modo diferente y amigable de modo que todo el mundo sepa que no estamos solos/as. Finalizo diciendo algo que digo siempre desde que supe que tengo la enfermedad de Chagas: el Chagas no discrimina entre clases sociales, edades y orígenes. El logo propuesto es esencialmente amistoso por esa razón, evitando que se base en estructuras fijas o que estigmatice. Busca mostrar el otro lado del Chagas.” (Testimonio de Ruth).
Isabel Claveria, Barcelona
Con esta imagen, el mensaje sigue siendo el mismo pero se presentan figuras humanas conectadas mediante lo cual podemos hacer visible la realidad de las personas afectadas por Chagas en todo el mundo.
Isabel Claveria, Barcelona
l mensaje que se intenta transmitir con esta imagen es la fuerza del impacto de las ondas a través de las redes (representadas en el símbolo de Wi-Fi), mostrando la imagen del mundo en el centro, como un conector central desde el que se expande la señal.
Isabel Claveria, Barcelona
