Anhen = Female | Verin=Leader in Dhivehi language. The language spoken in the Maldives
UNDP Maldives wanted to create a logo for their Women’s day. In our research we found that many of the logo designs were tenderized and logos around females were designed in a way that reinforced binary divisions.
We wanted to explore a logo that was gender neutral in the traditional sense. He logo is the starting point for the rest of identity development. We wanted to represent creativity/work, power and resistance
We also deliberately kept the words Anhen Verin joint together as AnhenVerin to reflect that they both exist symbiotic to each other. in the logo.
The letter V is a downward triangle a symbol of vagina in Sanskrit. This form of a triangle is also often depicted in graffiti in the Maldives.
