Rajamma mam, i too wonder what is this moving train or moving boat? Could any one please explain?
Rajamma mam, i believe it has something to do with the "Let's go on a cruise" - http://www.ikolam.com/node/23976.

Dear Maha and Rajam, the lady you saw in the ikolam logo is a lighthouse (representing the "I" in ikolam). The "entire" ikolam is supposedly going on a cruise. I didn't draw an outline of a ship around the logo since the lighthouse doesn't usually go within a ship and always stays put. :0 But, in this case, I wanted the lighthouse for "I" and also couldn't separate it out from "kolam" as the I belongs with Kolam according to our logo. So, just chose to send the logo sailing away on the waves supposedly on a cruise.
Coming to the part as to why did I use this logo in the front page? When I introduce any new theme for rangolis, I usually use a small part of the main image in the front page to pull in the audience (when you click on it, it leads one to the whole story).
Now excuse me while I go off to my dreamland dreaming about what our dear Maha and Rajam ma'am are going to be making!
