Kinderite new logo

We've developed so many logos for ‘Kinderite’ but somehow we were not happy with any of them.  We don’t even remember where and how this thought about this new logo came about but it dawned on us like this:


The word 'Kinder' in German language means a 'Child' and phonetically 'rite' and 'right' sound the same (and they could mean two different meanings namely 'correct' and 'right of an individual respectively) so Kinderite refers to child rights.  


One arm of the check mark and the other arm of alphabet 'K' have blended to convey the message that the child and his rights are integral to his overall development and they are correct in its consideration.

I explored of doing it in various ways but they all require lot of money and human resources. So I thought of an easy way to do this work and that is by using social microblogging site www.twitter.com. I set up an account at http://www.twitter.com/indiachildalert and this is how it is going to work. If you’re in India, send an SMS (Short Messaging Service) from your mobile phone as FOLLOW INDIACHILDALERT to 53000 and that’s it (Yes!! Can you believe it? You don’t even have to have a personal twitter account). Then on, anytime we have a missing/ lost/ trafficked child with us, we’ll post it on the above mentioned twitter account and you’ll receive the same information as SMS in your mobile. Don’t worry about receiving long SMS’s from us because twitter only allows the sender to send a message in 140 characters. If at any time, you c
