Gandhi Center logo

The Gandhi Center logo includes a spiral form. The spiral is one of the most basic shapes found in nature and one of the most ancient symbols of growth, change, and transformation. For the Gandhi Center it evokes the processes that lead outward, onward, and upward from conflict toward creativity and harmony.
