Our Logo

Meaning of Symbol: The three waves represent stories and storytelling, sound waves, and the rhythms of life. The waves emerge from a common source, i.e. the wealth of human experience. Just as experiences are shared, spread and passed on, so the waves ripple outwards.

Meaning of Colours: The three colours represent the diversity of cultures and traditions which storytellers source stories. Red is also the colour of life, and the colour of the “Little Red Dot”, i.e. Singapore.
