Almyras’s logo is a drawing of an earthen pot found in Cyprus and depicts a boat with its crew. The original port from Mid-Copper period 1700-1600 BC is exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The logo was inspired by a free version of the original pot at the Cyprus Handicraft Service. The logo was designed by the artist Christoforos Papachristoforou.
