The name and identity of Sevak

Sevak logo: an amber S-shaped flame and dark wordmark

Meaning

Sevak (सेवक) means one who serves. It is a Sanskrit-derived word used in Hindi for a person who serves or assists. Source: Hindwi dictionary.

For this app, the name expresses a design intention: bring useful actions within reach, respond to a few keystrokes, and let the user return to work.

The mark combines an S-shaped flame with a shallow lamp. The flame suggests clarity and direction; the lamp suggests readiness to help. These are intended design associations, not claims about the dictionary meaning.

Amber gives the mark warmth and contrast against indigo. The compact symbol appears in the app icon, tray and search bar; the wide wordmark suits documentation and larger placements.
