The logo is inspired by the sacred symbolism of the “Kili” (parrot) in Tamil art, representing love, fertility, and divine speech. Drawing from Madurai Nayak and Thanjavur temple painting traditions (16th–18th century),

the design incorporates temple architecture, ornamental motifs, and traditional kolam patterns. This approach creates a harmonious blend of cultural authenticity and contemporary brand identity.
