The Greenleaf Center’s logo is a variation on the geometrical figure called a "Mobius strip," named after German mathematician August Ferdinand Mobius who invented it in 1858. A Mobius strip is a one-sided surface that is constructed from a rectangle by holding one end fixed, rotating the opposite end through 180 degrees, and then attaching it to the first end, thereby giving the appearance of a two-sided figure. The Mobius strip was chosen as the Center’s logo because it symbolizes the servant-leader concept—servanthood merges into leadership and back into servanthood again, in a fluid and continuous pattern. It also symbolizes the Greenleaf Center’s desire to both serve others and lead others who are interested in leadership and service.
