The new IRI logo can now be seen. Actually, we are reluctant to make changes to the logo (for the sake of recognizability and consistency), but some very slight modification was done this time. Here is the post-facto rationalization of the logo:

2. The Chakra looks like the wheel of a Steam Loco, and along with the letter "R" gets us into the "Railways" theme. This is the "Rail" component of IRI.

3. The hub of the Chakra has been set in white, and now it looks like rays of light (knowledge) are coming out of the centre. This is the "Info" component of IRI.
.
Thanks a lot to our Admin Abbas, for the inspiration behind the Independence Day logo, which was liked by our Admin Amjad so much that he suggested a change in the permanent logo.
.
Also, finally, thanks to Amjad, for pushing us to rethink. Needless to say, we need a constant impetus to "make us" do things. Only this interest, enthusiasm, and the constant "push" of our members makes things happen on this site!!!
