our
logo.

While delivering a fab products and services
are our top priorities, we think of our logo as a
support system - helping us to gain visibility,
recognition and trust.
Our logo (just like of almost any fab lab in the
world) consists of a cube with red, blue and
green colors - green is for the commercial
model and the economy, blue for the social
impact and durability, and red for research
and education. With our logo we wanted to
communicate our fab lab values to our
community and wider.
