The logo communicates the assembly, building and packaging of an open source geo data base. The OpenGIS initiative is an ongoing process, therefor the open continuous lines in the design.

The colour scheme, fonts usage and layout compliment the UN corporate identity. The blues and greys symbolises the water bodies on our blue planet. The greens, illustrates the assembly and collection of points, lines and polygons, that are processed, verified and incorporated into the OpenGIS Initiative.
