The logo of ICEBOX TBI symbolizes the convergence of General Santos City’s rich fishing heritage and its ambition to become a hub for technological advancements. It represents a space that preserves and nurtures the potential of startups while embracing the spirit of innovation, reflecting the city’s commitment to driving technological progress in the smart systems industry.

The logo also represents the intersectionality of technology and innovations, represented by the color blue; and the growing e-commerce industry and technopreneurship in General Santos City, represented by the color yellow.
The two-dimensional boxes in ICEBOX TBI’s logo could be interpreted as piled boxes and an opened box. This represents flexibility and creativity in the eyes of innovators. It conveys that it is not merely an enclosed space, but a hub for nurturing and safeguarding potential startups within its incubation program. It signifies protection, support, and a structured environment that fosters growth and development.

The shadow under the floating box signifies the presence of light. This represents the floating knowledge and ideas that could be accessed with the aid of incubation programs with ICEBOX TBI mentors.
