Logo Brief:
“SPARKL GLA Technology Business Incubator Foundation” is looking for a logo which
represents innovation and has some elements of GLA University logo in it (not necessarily

innovation and startup spirit. The name SPARKL should be there in logo. The proposed
tagline of the Incubator is, Sprinkling Innovations…
It is advisable to not use representations of bulb, rocket, gears and other such
conventional objects in any form.

SPARKL will be an academic university incubator; mentoring student startup ideas and
incubating disruptive startup will have a young vibrant executive team and we want our

communicate the feeling of approachability and openness.
