The Logo
The logo heavily uses the colour and the imagery from nature like the sun,
the sky and the mountain. The portrayal of the sun with its rays spreading
across in the half circle above gives a feeling of progress and light. The
curves in yellow within the round give a shape of the mountain, where the
Institute is situated. The blue colour stands for the sky. The definite linear
lines in the bottom of the circle show how energy can be channelised. This
also can be compared to the skill of the students, which would be enhanced
and guided properly.
