GNOSTOS PERENNIA

“Believe in us, believe in fineness”
“Tell us your dreams, we make them true”
“I,B and C are the three most important letters which teach you everything from A to Z”
“Enter as a person, leave as a manager”

These are some of the lamest opening lines the writer was able to come up with as the introductory quotes for an article launching the new logo. But then I realized one thing. It doesn’t matter whether the person introduces the logo with some flashy commercialized statements or simply put up what the society actually does, as long as they implement it with perfection. So just one caption, “GNOSTOS PERENNIA”
Intellect Browsers Consortium (AKA, about me): I am a consortium (association) of intellect browsers (people who browse the intellects). And I couldn’t find a better way of expressing and explaining this, than what Kamakshi Gupta and Sanjana Wadhwa have done it, in this logo. This logo (at the end of the article) is my official logo from 21.08.2013.
The whole creative team was assigned the job of submitting their ideas. Brilliant ones, ranging from simple, yet creative designs to complex and meaningful were invented. In the end, the team chose a logo which echoes the meaning of IBC. Browsing the intellect.
You are the team. Every single thing you learn elevates the society by a step. Never stop learning because knowledge is imperishable.
-IBC

When the team actually initialized the process of creating a new logo for me they were flooded by a plethora of ideas (so has been told to me). Brains. Pens. Spectacles? 3-dimensional designs? Gears? Some were apt, some were absurd. But they finally found definition in the blur.

Our new logo composes of a mouse (not the Jerry member of the rodent family), a device, in front of you right now, as a matter of fact (or its successor, the trackpad or a touchscreen maybe), used for browsing the internet. But in this case it is used for browsing intellect, pictorially represented by a bulb (did that thing light up over your head too?)

Gnostos Perennia. Hasta La Vista!

A BLISSFUL CONSORTIUM

   

A dream in which happy faces mingle as a family and dull faces are swayed by the air of enthusiasm. It was just any other dream, except that it happened with eyes wide open. It was a seed, thrown down by many. Back it grew, right from where it was thrown, spreading its roots deep under the soil. It was a child rejected by some, left on its own, in a world so relentless.

  Climbing towards the top, she surpassed those obstacles…or may be those obstacles surpassed her? Challenge was yet to come. The pinnacle was lonely yet loud, pale yet beautiful, lost yet destined to be found. She wondered if she was on top of the world or beneath an endless sky, of hopes and dreams. Those below her were jabbering and those above her were merely speculating. She became unsure of herself. Yes she had found a way but was the journey meant to be so long, so weary?

   As the days went by, she could only feel worse. The top was too lonely a place; thankless, strangely unrewarding. It was placid but the deafening silence was disturbing her. Looking below was defying herself but looking above was surrendering. Dusk was fast approaching and she lost control of her emotions. She reached where people dreamt to be but was it worth all the pain she went through? Night came without repose.

   She woke as dawn broke over horizon. Rays showed her the way. She felt upbeat. This was her life. THIS IS IT. The fresh air she breathed was worth all the suffering that life imposed. Her mind was as clear as the spotless blue sky. She finally thought “Let the light shine upon you and show the world what’s true.” And that was her happy beginning.

She is a consortium, a blissful consortium, an Intellect Browsers’ Consortium. She is the IBC.
