MUDA logo launched
Mr. Mijar launched the logo of MUDA in its office on March 4 in the presence of MUDA Commissioner Bhaskar N.
Explaining its significance, he said that the logo is designed on the base of a Shatkona, which is an ancient Indian symbol formed by the overlapping of two triangles forming a six-point star. This represents the source of all creation, more specifically the connection between an individual and his surroundings.
The brown, green and blue colours used in the Shatkona represent the earth, trees and water, which are the essential elements of nature, and the beauty of Mangaluru.
The motiff at the centre of the Shatkona is created with vibrant colours reflecting the colourful cultural heritage and celebrations of Mangaluru.
