Corporate Identity

('Togetherness ') is the theme of this logo where the world of banking services meets the realm of ever changing customer needs and establishes a link that is like a chain, inseparable. The logo also denotes a
bank that's prepared to do anything, to go to any lengths, for the customer. The blue pointer on the top represents the philosophy of a bank that's always looking for growth and newer, and challenging, more promising directions .The keyhole indicates safety and security. The colours red and blue represent fusion of dynamism and solidity. At a time when the performance of the bank, the prospects of the bank, and even the
perceptions of the bank are vibrantly different, and poised as we are at the threshold of a new millennium, this modernized logo is a tribute to the Andhra Bankers who are the true creators of the image of the bank.
