04Illustration

Soft watercolour with a glossy glow

Scenes are soft pastel watercolour with gentle glossy highlights. Feature visuals use glossy, candy-like 3D icons on rounded pastel tiles. Calm, airy and uplifting, with no people unless asked.

The river

Sarita means river. A glowing turquoise stream with sparkles runs through every visual.

The sun

A warm golden sun or sunrise glow, low and soft, never harsh.

Books and manuscripts

Open books and palm-leaf manuscripts tied with red thread, with no legible letters.

Mint leaves

Soft mint-green leaves and gentle hills frame the scene.

Lotus flowers

Pink lotus flowers float on the water or line the banks.

Floating dots

Small lavender dots and sparkles drift in the air for a light, airy feel.

05Mascot

Meet Beri, the blueberry learning buddy

Beri (बेरी) brings warmth to the brand, but only shows up when a post asks for the mascot. Always drawn the same way.

  • A glossy round purple body with a light shine on the top left
  • A small dark violet blueberry crown on top
  • One mint-green leaf sprouting up to the right
  • Big white oval eyes with dark navy pupils and a sparkle
  • Rosy pink cheeks and a wide open smile
  • Short rounded arms and small oval feet. No nose, ears or clothes
