Brand essence

Everything starts with the mark: a globe turned into a key, its teeth made of piano keys. The meaning is the mission: music is the key that unlocks peace across the whole world.

Mission

Peace through music

A nonprofit global movement connecting people through a common language transmitted through music, to challenge minds and change hearts.

Idea

One shared song

The eight-syllable phrase Sasha Eha Tozi Hawoo®, drawn from 124 languages, lets strangers who share no tongue still sing as one.

Promise

Measure by measure

Change happens gradually and gently, one note, one voice, one heart at a time, on a shared road to peace.

Clear space & sizing

Protect the logo with breathing room and never let it shrink past legibility.

Clear space

Keep clear space equal to the height of the globe (“x”) on every side. Nothing (type, imagery, or edges) should enter this zone.

xx Clear space around the logo

Minimum size

Below these sizes the wordmark and continents start to break down. When space is tight, use the globe symbol alone.
