The cover theme stands for the inner mechanism, the inner dynamics that represent a bank involved in core banking activities. In other words, a bank doing business in its sphere, providing core services to customers. As a bank, Bank Asia offers the same. As a dynamic bank, we try to figure out the basic characteristics of Bank Asia through different symbols, which are derived from Bank Asia logo. Having realistic and positive perspective towards stakeholders, we define our inherent spirit through some artistic graphical symbols. Each of the symbols describes the basic strength of Bank Asia. At the same time, Bank’s focus on expansion and diversification is signified through these visuals. Table of contents represents the segregation of a single point into different sides. Moreover, the other symbols communicate directly with different aspects of the Bank’s characteristics.
