The logo of Mogra Designs was created by Carishma Roy in 2014.[7] In India, the 'mogra' flower is a symbol of purity, romance and femininity.[8] The outer petals of the logo are a representation of the petals of the flower. The circular pattern in the middle is inspired by the Sri Yantra, a Mandala in the Rig Veda. The inverted triangle represents female power and the dot acts as the physical world and everything uniting it.[9]
