The circular logo was adopted in the early 1920s and amended in 2016 (shown right). It depicts Benvenuto Cellini (1500-71), the 16th century Florentine master goldsmith and sculptor. His words Ars non habet inimicum nisi ignorantiam (Art has no enemy except ignorance) were chosen as BADA’s motto.
However, the new BADA ‘Exceptional, without exception’ motto was also adopted in 2016.
