Why we chose Red Fort in the logo for WordCamp Delhi 2017?

‘At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom…’

This historic speech marked India’s independence from British rule and simultaneously made the Red Fort in Delhi a politically significant monument, which now acts as the setting for the Independence Day celebrations each year. However, the Red Fort has been a strategically important monument through the ages, due to Delhi being the capital city for a good part of the Mughal rule in India. It’s beautiful architecture and the historical significance that it carries attracts many visitors across globe.

The above importance forced us to keep #WCDelhi logo around Red Fort.

Logo designed by Kaushik Panchal & Nisarg Pandya
