What's the Meaning Behind Our Blue Corner?
We want to communicate our brand in a global visual language, above and beyond our logo, that is not hindered by language or other cultural barriers.
The Poverty Wheel
The poverty wheel is a graphic representation of poverty. The hub represents absolute poverty. The spokes represent the different needs of those in poverty. The rim represents enough. We work to bring children from the hub (poverty) to the rim (enough).
