Logo• A very simple and iconic logo.
• A sheet of paper with information on it,
and the authority figure behind it –
providing the information.
• This represents the two key
stakeholders in the process of sharing
information under the RTI Act.
• The lines of information on the sheet of
paper are rendered in a manner that
makes it look transparent, showing
through the form of ‘i’ from behind.
• The solid form of ‘i’ is a very simplistic
portrayal of the human form and can
also be related to the ‘i’ for information.
• The bright blue color stands for
transparency and purity (free from
malpractices) of process.
