Our Story

Understanding Our Visual Language

In one form or another, mighty trees depend on the humble leaf, which in their numbers, work to support physiological, biological and chemical processes that are essential for the growth of their host - like so many little factories.

“That is the story behind the new NDB logo. It captures the idea of small, humble leaves pumping life into a mighty tree”.

That tree is Botswana’s economy, being nurtured to growth through every single Motswana through projects financed by NDB. NDB is represented by a trio of stylised leaves, fueling Botswana’s development through a unique bias towards strategic growth sectors including agriculture, commercial, industrial, real estate and human capital development.
