CIMaR Logo
The CIMaR logo is all about progress. In western societies pointing to the right is generally thought of as representative of progress, moving in the "Right" direction, looking into the future, etc… This symbol:
Conveys an important message to everyone who will see it! Each shape is contributing to the icon, thus, communicating ideas such as "Convergence", "Teamwork", and "Communication"; symbolizing either individuals participating in a group effort or groups working with other groups towards something to be achieved greater than the sum of the parts. Each differing size is showing the different levels of involvement that various participants can add to an organization such CIMaR; also signifying that no one comes in at the same point as others but can still help. The dark red (Maroon) coupled with the black is used to represent "Confidence" and "Professionalism".
