A brand and logo have been developed for the Daugavpils Innovation Centre. At the basis of the logo there is a sphere. The main value of the brand is inclusion – in nature, science, society, relationships and even at the level of personality dimensions. The sphere of planet Earth includes nature and human being; every human is given the opportunity to include the sphere of science in his or her life; the sphere of science tends to include processes that would otherwise seem mystical to people. By understanding and comprehending the processes, one can build an inclusive society, which, in turn, can include more sustainability in its future path.
