The logo for Bengaluru is a red and white, bilingual design featuring the tagline "Bengaluru - Be U" in both English and Kannada. Launched in December 2017, it highlights the letters "B", "E", and "U" in red to emphasize a welcoming, diverse, and cosmopolitan spirit. It was designed by Nammur to establish the city’s own identity.
The rolling font was devised by bankers-turned-designers Rushi Patel and M Venkateswara Rao, founders of Nammur, a creative design start-up. 'Be' and 'U' of the logo has been highlighted by using red colour.
In the middle of the crest, a blue Gandaberunda – a mythical two-headed bird, symbolizes the pride, resilience, and bravery of the people of Bengaluru. The Gandaberunda is taken from the coat of arms of the state of Karnataka.
Gandaberunda is the official emblem of #Karnataka state government. It was also the royal insignia of the erstwhile Mysore kingdom. The Gandaberunda is a two -headed mythological bird, believed to possess tremendous magical strength.
M Ramamurthy went on a Padayatra, protesting against the hoisting of flags from neighboring state parties in the capital and soon he realized Kannadigas did not have a flag to hoist. He designed a flag that was yellow, a Karnataka map, and a paddy crown in the center.
