In Greek Mythology, Aonia is the land of the Muses, embodiments of and inspiration for the Arts. Likewise is Aonia Universal a gathering of the talented able to create great value
together, seeking and manifesting inspiration for one another.
The logo, termed ‘AON’, symbolises the coming together and ordering of talents, and the radiation of their combined dynamism and strengths. ‘AON’ also means ‘All or Nothing’, a rallying call to excellence.
The division title follows the parent branding Aonia, indicating in clear terms the service proposition(s) of the division.
The full corporate name ‘Aonia Universal Private Limited’. The Initials Aonia Universal (Au) form the chemical symbol for Gold, a precious element to symbolise the value and
quality of our work. Gold is therefore the Corporate Colour.
