The Greece Lean Six Sigma Logo: Symbol, Colours and Lean Philosophy
Our logo is not decoration. It is the visual signature of how we have worked for 14 years in Greece, Cyprus and Europe: purposeful direction, structure that allows movement, and value that flows.
- Direction
- Structure
- Flow
- Balance
The logo at a glance
Anatomy of the logo
Every element of the logo maps to a Lean Six Sigma principle.
Direction: the right-pointing triangle
A universal symbol of intent and progress. It shows purposeful movement that is guided rather than rushed, like a DMAIC project that knows where it is going.
Structure: triangles as the base
The triangle is the most stable geometric shape. It stands for focus, structural strength and standard work, the foundation of every improvement.
Balance: the trapezoids
Proportion and adaptability. Systems that evolve without losing coherence, like a PDCA cycle that repeats without breaking stability.
Flow: the overall movement
The composition reads from left to right, like value flowing from supplier to customer. No dams, no bottlenecks.
From symbol to practice
| Element | Lean Six Sigma principle | What it means for your organisation |
|---|---|---|
| Right-pointing triangle | Purpose and direction (Hoshin) | Improvement projects with a clear goal and measurable KPIs |
| Triangles as the base | Standard work | Stable processes before any improvement |
| Trapezoids | Continuous improvement (Kaizen, PDCA) | Change without disruption to daily operations |
| Left-to-right movement | Value flow and pull | Less waiting, less inventory, faster service |
| Blue | Trust and transparency | Transparent training, assessment and certification |
| Grey tones | Data-driven decisions | Objective assessment and evidence-based decisions |
Flow, change and continuous improvement
Heraclitus: Panta Rhei
Everything flows. Change is constant and natural. Excellence comes not from resisting change but from understanding and governing it well.
Taiichi Ohno: value flows
The architect of the Toyota Production System described the ideal system as a calm river, with no dams, bottlenecks or artificial acceleration. Lean Six Sigma removes whatever blocks that flow.
Komorebi: light through the leaves
The Japanese image behind our philosophy: balance, gentle strength and systems that let people perform at their best.
Progress needs structure, and structure must allow movement.

Using the logo correctly
Allowed
Using the official file, in white or blue, with enough clear space around it, on material about a partnership or training with GLSS.

Distorting it, changing its colours, adding shadows or effects, placing it on a background that hurts legibility, or any use that implies the certification of an organisation.
