Brand & Logo Story
While we learn everything from A to Z, the ‘X’ factor is often missing. Our brand & identity focuses on this ‘X’ factor. Sandwiched between learning and life, inspiring us to learn from life and use this learning to improve the quality of all our lives. Yes! Learning acts as the multiplier that helps us better not only our own life but the lives of billions of people.
The thought is big, but the treatment is light, playful, joyous and colourful… a bit like LIFE itself.
