01About · আলোপথ

a bridge, not a classroom.

Alopoth is a digital marketplace that connects teachers and students across Bangladesh. Teachers build a profile and list their batches, courses, notes and exams; students find, compare and enrol from anywhere in the country. Alopoth isn’t a tutoring platform itself. It’s the bridge between the two. Led by CEO Md Mahbubur Rahman, it is now live on the web and on Android.

02Two sides

one path, two people on it.

The brand had to speak to a teacher building a career and a student looking for the right mentor, without talking down to either.

04Where the light came in

it started with one letter.

Before any screen, a pencil note: অ → আলোপথ. The first letter of the name, drawn as a path that keeps going. Around it, the ideas that shaped the mark: the spiral journey, a learning path, dynamic growth, and a spiral that could stand in for the O.

05Three paths

three ways toward the light.

Three concepts went on the table. Each one read the name differently: light as phases, light as a sunrise, and light as a path.

Concept: The phases of learningExplored
The phases of learningMoon phases moving toward a full circle: knowledge as a steady journey.
Concept: The rising sunExplored
The rising sunRays rising from a horizon: the dawn of knowledge on an illuminated path.
Concept: The spiral journeyChosen
The spiral journeyOne continuous line: the অ of আলোপথ, and a path that keeps growing.

06The spiral

one line, two letters.

The icon is a single, fluid line. It reads as a path, a learning journey that grows instead of running straight. It is also the অ of আলোপথ, and it takes the place of the O in ALOPOTH.

  • পথ a path that keeps going
  • অ the first letter of আলোপথ
  • O the circle in ALOPOTH

07Two scripts, one mark

bangla and english, side by side.

Every lockup comes in both scripts, stacked or in a line, on white, black and both brand greens. The app icon carries the spiral alone.

08Light and depth

energy on one side, trust on the other.

Light Grass Green brings the energy; Aqua Deep brings the trust. Each has seven steps from light to dark. Six accents add range for illustration and campaigns. Tap any colour to copy it.

09Voice in type

clear in both scripts.

Avenir Next sets the Latin text and Li Shadhinata 2.0 sets the Bangla, both at their clearest weights. Icons follow Google’s Material style, so the product feels familiar from the first tap.
