Our logo depicts a formation of books and pens to represent the recording and sharing of knowledge. The compass-like configuration signifies the geographical sources of influence within the Nusantara region. The show of 4 ‘books’ serves not only to portray a subtle form of the company’s initials N & C, but to also reflect, at a deeper level, one of its primary missions which is to reveal the hidden legacies of the Nusantara. The lettering is influenced by multiple forms of written scripts used in the region, past and present.
