New Delhi: Indian Institute of Management-Ahmedabad (IIM-A) on Friday clarified that the institute is in the process of revamping its website and thus found the need to "refresh" its logo.

Evaluation, exploration, development of wordmark, development of brandmark were all kept in mind while coming up with the final design recommendations."
The existing logo adopted in 1961 includes a Sanskrit verse, 'Vidya viniyogadvikasa' meaning development through the distribution or application of knowledge.
