About our logo
Our logo is based on an ancient symbol called “the seed of life” or “the seed of the universe”. It shows a spiral of potential energy within a sphere symbolising the Universe. Our logo reminds us that creativity and life flows from the dynamic balance created by the constant ebb and flow of opposing energies and that our lives and work should reflect this fundamental principle. It also represents the creative energy of our organisation and our commitment to designing strategies and governance systems that are holistic, balanced, and consistent with the greater natural systems within which we exist.
