INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TROPICAL METEOROLOGY The circular emblem of Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) has a circular motif of a yellow map of India in the world with a blue ocean superscribed with  directional arrows of ocean currents and winds. These are ensconced in a white border with black outlines bearing the name and place of the Institute in Devanagari and English.

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PALAKKAD IIT Palakkad was announced by the Government of India in 2014 and it began in the very next academic year, 2015-16. Its emblem designed by NID is an unique symbol that highlights the notion of synergy and dynamic inter-relationship between research, theory and practice in academics. Inspired from the (5,3) torus knot, the cyclic form rendered in a continuous single line symbolises the process of continuous evolution. The form also has a hidden question mark – representing curiosity. The subtle semblance to the form of a light bulb suggests enlightenment of knowledge, essential to dispel the darkness. The pentamerous elements are symbolic of the ‘pal’ flower. The white star in the centre stands for the illustrious graduates who aspire to make the world a better place. The colour palette is unique with the golden yellow representing the rising sun and its energy and the cool grey representing the propriety of science education.

The first Indo-German agreement in Bonn, West Germany for the establishment of the Indian Institute of Technology at Madras was signed in 1959. The first Indo-German Agreement provided for the services of German professors and five foremen, training facilities for 20 Indian faculty members and the supply of scientific and technical equipment for the establishment of the Central Workshop and 20 laboratories at IIT Madras. The circular logo of IITM in brown, khaki and red has a burning lamp in the middle with a lotus in bloom within its flame. This is supported by a flash of lightnin
