“Calyptra” comes from the greek word “calyptros”, meaning hat.
“The calyptra is the hat of the vine flower, which protects the reproductive apparatus of the plant. The vine flower, in order to bloom, loses that hat in the springtime. Therefore, we can say that: "the flower of the vine greets spring by taking off its hat...”
The logo was designed after graphically simplifying the process were the flower releases its calyptra, saluting the arrival of springtime.
