Logo
The identity boasts symmetry, stability and craftsmanship. Key elements include:
- Upward Arrow, symbolizing Progress and Growth
- Hands, embodying Nurturing and Care
- Flame, symbolizing enlightenment and warmth
The Regional Rural Bank logo selection process involved a public poll conducted by NABARD in June 2025 to choose a new, common logo for the amalgamated Regional Rural Banks in India. The initiative aimed at creating a unified brand identity for rural banking after multiple RRB amalgamations. The poll allowed citizens to vote on six logo concepts and nine design variations. This initiative was titled OneRRBOneLogo, reflecting the vision of establishing a single identity for RRBs across India.
