INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY HYDERABAD

Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH) is a premier institute of science and technology established in 2008. Its logo is designed using tones of orange to yellow. The design philosophy of the logo is based on the two key words ‘Inventions and Innovations’, the foundation and vision of IIT Hyderabad. It is depicted using two ‘i’s with a common dot above them. These letters emanate outwards in either direction signifying expansion and growth of that knowledge. This reflects the core values of the institute where it fosters and facilitates in expanding one's intellectual ability, creativity, research and scientific discoveries. The identity is a symbolic representation of a person reading a book. This indicates imparting knowledge through quality education. The logo has also been envisaged with another deeper and philosophical meaning. The circle in the logo depicts the sun, the primary source of energy. The portrayal of the sun symbolises guiding light, force, creation, growth and strength. The warm and radiating colour scheme is derived from the vibrant sunlight (which also reflects the geographical climate of the city).
