The story behind the Edstellar logo.

The Edstellar logo was designed around one idea: capable people are the key to organizational success.

The Edstellar logo: the letter e inside three concentric rings, followed by the word edstellar

EdEmployee Development, the heart of Edstellar's mission.

StellarHigh-performing people who shine within their organizations.

  1. The e at the core

    The employee sits at the center of everything Edstellar does.

  2. Three concentric rings

    Knowledge and capability keep expanding outward, because learning is a continuous journey, not a single event.

  3. Shifting shades

    The changing tones show that capability must keep adapting as the demands of work change.

  4. A key-shaped outline

    Employees equipped with the right capability are the key that unlocks organizational success.

Edstellar's core values, the three Es.

Each value grows from the one before it, just as the rings in the Edstellar logo grow outward from the core.
