The LOGO
The logo is based on the concept of Mobius loop, consisting of three chasing arrows in the shape of a triangle having round vertices. The symbol is a consummate representation of recycling, cleanliness goals, duty and obligation towards safeguarding nature. It represents how the circle of life works in helping everything come back around and in turn benefit the environment. The arrows stands for the three ‘R’s initiative to ‘REDUCE-REUSE-RECYCLE’. The broom signifies cleanliness and the seedling / sprout denotes hope for a greener environment. The three hues of green symbolizes -regeneration (bright green), hope (olive green) and tranquility (dark green). The brown of the sprout means – earthliness, the blue of the SAC represents reliability and the two lines denote stability. The NIE logo incorporated with the theme ‘Total Growth of the Human Person’ mentions -the banyan tree as a symbol of continual growth and development. It keeps spreading its shoots and prop roots in order to support the branches and does not stop growing until it dies. The Lotus symbolizes purity.
The logo was conceptualized and designed by Mr. Raymond Pereira – Coordinator of NIE- SAC.
