The official name of this global celebration is the International Year of Astronomy, abbreviated IYA2009.

The official logo of the IYA2009, which also incorporates the slogan, appears on this page in several formats along with several US – Specific logos.
Guidelines for Use of the IYA2009 Logos and slogans
We encourage widespread use of the IYA2009 logo by individuals and groups who organize or support IYA2009 activities. An IYA2009 “activity” is here understood to be an event, exhibit, performance, commercial or promotional product, print or electronic publication, or other creation intended to advance the aims of the IYA2009 as described elsewhere on this website.
In order to use the IYA2009 logo you need to provide contact information and a brief description of your IYA2009 activity/product to the US organizing committee (or your international group), including the URL of your IYA-related website, if applicable, as well as time and place. If the country in which you are organizing an IYA activity/product does not have an IYA2009 National Node Chair, or if the activity/product is of an international nature, you will provide the required information to the IAU’s IYA2009 Secretary instead.
If you use the IYA2009 logo on a website or in any other electronic publication that supports hyperlinks, you should link to www.astronomy2009.org as well as to this website, if applicable.
As a rule of thumb, the IYA2009 logos must not be modified. Please contact the IYA2009 Secretary in case of doubt (please submit your graphics).
The IAU Officers and the IAU Executive Committee Working Group for the IYA2009 reserve the right to revoke the use of the logo by any individual or group at any time for any reason, and you agree to promptly comply with any such revocation.
Here are a sample of the graphics available. Additional international logos can be found here.
