The new logo proposed for IIM Lucknow features a tree symbolizing the institute's philosophy of serving the nation through better management practices. The tree represents an institution providing knowledge, vision, leadership and service. The bark and small circle represent an individual innovator/leader who can help organizations grow to new heights. Sun rays above symbolize spreading knowledge. The logo will be used on the institute's publications, website, letterhead, visiting cards and signage to develop a unified brand identity.
