The new TIFR logo is minimalist and modern. It admits a variety of interpretations. Three tapering bands curve clockwise and enclose a solid circle. The eye is led to imagine an enclosing rectangle. The logo admits a variety of interpretations, some mundane, others perhaps fanciful. Waves rise up out of the sea and sweep dramatically upward to the sun, representing soaring aspiration while highlighting the sea-face location of TIFR's main campus. But the circle could also represent the moon of truth, or the earth raised up on the swell of scientific knowledge. In a mathematical perspective the bands pass tangentially to the most perfect geometrical figure and perhaps converge at infinity. In a physical view the logo may represent wave-particle duality. Equally it may suggest quantum levels in chemistry, or planetary orbits in astronomy, or flagella in biology. Or it can depict the three schools of TIFR - Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Technology and Computer Science, merging into a common entity. But any of these would only be a possible interpretation.
