Meaning of TASSC'S LOGO

TASSC's logo was designed by Elshafei Dafalla Mohammad from Sudan. His paintings, photography, and sculpture have been widely exhibited and is part of public and private collections in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. The large umbrella-letter T represents truth and zero tolerance for torture.

The dark blue color signifies resilience and spiritual purity. As the dark blue embraces the pure red orange, a pigeon symbolizing peace-love-freedom in many cultures, soars out of the form towards a brighter future which marks the end of oppression.

The letters ASSC in TASSC visualizes a person rising, under the TASSC umbrella, from a state of "bowing under oppression."

The color black gives the logo a high degree of contrast that reflects the strength and vitality of its lines. TASSC's logo signifies the awakening and the uprising of those who have been tortured.
