What is behind the Logo?

The logo has been developed to reflect the holoprint which is a
demonstration of the holistic system that every thing is interconnected
and integrated. This fractal design can be produced when any viscous
substance is compacted between two sheets and then separated. The
rainbow colours used in the design reflects the diversity of life,
culture and resources that the African continent is blessed with. The
design of the holoprint reflects the range of systems that operate from
the landscape level (left) to the cellular level (right) represented by
interconnected neurons.
