MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging 2017 | Page 5

The Spark Seen ’Round the World The Martinos Center introduced a new logo in the spring of 2017. We call it, simply, “The Spark.” Comprised of images acquired with cutting-edge technologies from throughout the Center, the logo is a bold expression of our culture, philosophy and vision. What does the Spark say about the Center? Martinos investigators are scientists, catalysts and futurists, radical in thought and collaborative in approach. Together, they act as agents of change. The new logo represents both the spark of creativity behind this change and the diverse views and collective energy that ultimately make it possible. The researchers proudly wore this expression of who they are and what they do as they traveled the world this past year—from Honolulu, Hawaii, to the West African nation of Guinea-Bissau, and on again to the banks of the Volga River in Russia. 2
