About the Logo

Corporate Identity of PDAP was developed with the introduction of new Company signatures (logo). The signature uniquely substantiates the corporate ideals geared on proactive actions toward development—the rising up. The signature forms the foundation upon which the entire Corporate Identity is built. It resembles the Company important mission as well as the bold vision for the future. The graphical symbol forming the human image conveyed flexibility in corporate outlook and actions. Also, it forcefully expresses the idea of enigmatic fusion of the institution does for both company and members—the center of things for the organization, the beginning and end of its endeavors, the noble pursuit of helping people become complete,advanced, developed, grown, even from nothing. This duality is further more conveyed by the expressive arms, signifying embrace of both the seen and the unforeseen—the mark of readiness. The word mark “PDAP” impresses a visual idea of stability which means graceful, cautious, yet sure steps.
