Four Secrets you don't know about Foradian Logo

The foradian startup team was motivated by movies like Matrix Trilogy and 2001: A Space Odyssey which intelligently incorporated numerous references to philosohpical and religious ideas. So when the time came to decide about the logo of foradian, the team decided it to be as simple as possible and rich with inner meanings.

Foradian

Before explaining about the logo, those who don't know what the word "Foradian" means, here is the explanation. The name foradian is motivated from scientific unit of angular measurement "radian". Radian measures angles in two dimensional planes and Steradian measures angles in three dimensional space. A new word "FORADIAN" was coined to describe the experience on the next dimension. We chose our startup tagline as "Business in Next Dimension" meaning helping the offline business to shift to online through our internet engineering services. The team chose orange-red as the official color theme. It portrays the aggressiveness as well as the hacker attitude towards life and society. Orange-red is a bright vibrant color which symbolizes physical energy.

Logo

Foradian logo is simply an angle created by two straight lines with a common starting point and the shadow the angle on the surface beneath it. In the direct sense it portrays the concept of angle of the term "radian" and the number "4" created by the logo and its shadow. If you haven't noticed the number 4 in the logo, look carefully. It was not meant to be a secret. :)

Now to the actual secrets.

Secret 1: 36 degrees of the angle.

The angle created by the foradian logo is exactly 36 degrees or if we put it in correct units, it is π/5 radians. The number and the angle 36 has got many significance which you can read from here.

Secret 2: Golden ratio

Secret 3: 11:11 phenomenon
