While some advertising agencies were engaged to come up with some designs, finally it was developed and finalised in-house. The logo is a graphic depiction of a rail network inside a tunnel and signifies safety, speed and reliability. However, before the finalisation of the logo, Delhi Metro officials studied the logos of various prominent metro systems across the world.They wanted the logo to show dynamism and mobility.
