The ORDA Learning Center logo is deeply rooted in nomadic heritage, with its emblem resembling the Shanyrak (шаңырақ)—the central part of a yurt that represents home, unity, and the foundation of life in Kazakh culture.
Symbolism of the Shanyrak: The intersecting lines in the design mirror the Shanyrak’s wooden framework, symbolizing knowledge, community, and a strong educational foundation. Just as the Shanyrak holds the yurt together, education at ORDA serves as a pillar of growth and enlightenment. Cultural Identity: The Shanyrak is a powerful national symbol, representing continuity, family, and an unbreakable connection between past and future generations. Visual Message: The logo reflects stability, inclusivity, and intellectual exchange, reinforcing ORDA’s mission to create a strong learning community. By integrating the Shanyrak’s essence, ORDA Learning Center stands as a place where tradition and education come together to build a brighter future.
