KVS LOGO
KVS symbol consists three elements related to educational activity. It consists images of rising Sun, open books, flying / buoyant birds and India’s tricolor flag along with the KVs motto written in Devanagari. They are presented in best possible graphical simplicity to maintain their essence, easy recognition and a lasting recall. Books and flying birds are shown in a composite image. The simultaneous images of birds along the books form a single unite. Their circular alignment produces image of a Sun in the counter space.
The inner space of symbol is seen as constantly radiating a glow or energy. The portrayal of glow and energy is an attempt to visually translate and resonate the KVs motto which mentions about that hidden light behind the Sun, the spirit within its fire is now uncovered by a graceful movement of the Sun itself. As a whole number of similar elements generates a rhythmic and dynamic association with its center. Their collaboration, alignment and direction further contribute to the unity of the form.
Interpretation
Sun is the origin of our beautiful planet and also the source of light that enables us to see it. It is an ultimate source of life and energy. The radiance and glow it emits are well cherished metaphors in all cultures for wisdom and clarity. Sun is the implementer and facilitator of time and by its consistency it stands as an enduring symbol of persistence and unfailing order. It is adored in all cultures hence seen as an entity discharging the affection and influence over every element that principally is part of it. Books are conservers and carriers of knowledge. They signify literacy and independence, availability and accessibility of knowledge and information. Buoyant birds are signifiers of imagination, freedom, mastery, space, migration, pace, lightness, fluency, and accomplishment. India’s tricolor national flag is symbol of unity in diversity and national integration and is suggestive of KVS’s national nature and spirit.
