The colossal green in the logo symbolizes life. Green connects various spectrums of life. Green inspires and gives birth to various forms of life across, and perhaps beyond the planet. It stands for the existence and performance of life. One’s life is essentially an epigram of light and dark. Not only the rising and setting sun but incandescent thoughts, ideas, and knowledge determine the luminosity of their life. The light bulb in the logo symbolizes the significance of thoughts, moreover, knowledge in the green represents life. When good thoughts are warmly embraced, beams of light transcend to ineffable boundaries. Good ideas hand in hand with knowledge know no limits and travel above and beyond their horizons. So does life. Life is not bound in any languish. When these limitless paramounts unite, wonders take birth. The green rays triumphing against their little circle in the logo depict the same. The GCT logo attempts to intricately weave the essence of thoughts and knowledge via the symbol of light fondled in the symbol of life. To connect, inspire and perform, GCT aims to take necessary treads. Be it by connecting with students across various schools of KU, inspiring them to be better than their reflection, and to perform what is within their might with utmost diligence. GCT is set to expand the universe with all the knowledge and touch lives.
