Its fine with me but I'm not Catholic and don't read too much into such things. I grew up with Methodist symbolism and the flame looked familiar.

I thought of the Methodist logo, too.

I think it’s “fine” as far as logos go - but people (esp. with agendas) will see what they want to see.

I can see what you mean.

Having been to Poland and to Krakow, I understand the part about the Divine Mercy. I would have kept the blue part in the lighter color however.

The rays symbolizing the water and blood coming from Christ’s pierced heart are blue and a very light red — almost white merged with the red.

I didn’t know about the dead-on Methodist flame — thanks for pointing it out. The Youth Day logo continues the Vatican II neo-tradition of making everything Catholic look more protestant — symbolism of which JPII would undoubtedly be proud.
