| BRICS NEW LOGO |
As India gets ready to lead the group next year, they’ve unveiled a design that features a lotus with a namaste right in the middle. It’s colorful, it’s bold, and it’s very clearly "Made in India."
The logo isn't just a pretty picture. Here’s why people are talking:
- The Lotus: Traditionally, it’s a symbol of rising above the mud to bloom beautifully. It represents resilience—something the BRICS nations are leaning into right now.
- The Namaste: It’s the ultimate sign of respect. By putting this at the core, India is telling the world that this partnership is about mutual respect and a "human-first" approach, not just cold politics.
- The Vibe: It’s unapologetically Indian. The petals use the colors of the member nations, but the soul of the logo is rooted in Indian tradition.
The Internet is Divided (As Always)
Of course, it wouldn't be news without a little drama. While many are praising the design for being a masterpiece of cultural branding, others are already arguing about the symbolism.
"The logo reflects unity and diversity... it combines elements of tradition and modernity.

Love it or hate it, you can’t deny that India is making its mark on the global stage. It’s a clear sign that the "Old World" rules are changing, and the "Global South" is finding its own voice.
This isn't just a logo change; it’s a power move. India is stepping up, and they're doing it with style.
What’s your take?
Do you think the new logo looks modern, or is it a bit too much?
