A purple background with white text that reads "Ashoka Changemakers The Engine for Social Innovation. We provide the tools and platforms leaders need to bridge the gap from insight to impact". There are two photos to the right of the text. One is a south asian woman smiling. The second is a group of black children cirlced around an indiscernable device.
