The logo was originally designed for ITP as a mandala and symbol of our work by William Heilbronn, in England.
It is a stylization of three interwoven circles, and two directionally opposing triangles. The circles correspond to the three gunas or energies of yoga. The two interlinked triangles form the classic six-pointed star and represent all polarity: positive and negative, active and passive, movement and rest, male and female, spiritual and telluric, creative force and material substance.

The Ensō
The circular brush stroke behind much official ITP material is called an Ensō (pronounced en-zoh). It means "circle" in Japanese and is written 円相. It is a symbol of enlightenment, strength, elegance, the universe, and the void.
It is believed that the character of the artist is fully exposed in how he or she paints ensō, and that only one who is mentally and spiritually whole can paint a true ensō. Some artists will paint ensō daily, as a kind of spiritual diary.
Some artists paint ensō with an opening in the circle, while others complete the circle. For the former, the opening may symbolize various ideas, for example that the ensō is not separate, but is part of something greater, or that imperfection is an essential and inherent aspect of existence.
The ensō is also a sacred symbol in the Zen sect of Buddhism, and is often used by Zen masters as a form of signature in their religious artwork.
The enso represents ITP's commitment to creative expression and spirituality, as part of the six core areas of inquiry: Intellectual, Emotional, Spiritual, Physical, Social and Creative.
