The internationally recognized ITIL®-logo has adorned the covers of ITIL® books for years. The familiar diamond consisting of a number of smaller diamonds is now internationally well-known.
But very few people remember the original meaning of the logo. ITIL® supporters from the very beginning asserted that the diamond symbolizes the coherence in IT infrastructure. They believe the four fields represent the four main subject areas in ITIL®: Service Support, Service Delivery, Infrastructure Management and IT Management. However, the square fields around a central area 'service provision' also symbolize the four parties involved in the ITIL® standard: in the center ITIL® literature (with OGC as owner), around the center the users (represented by ITSMF), the examination institutions (e.g. EXIN) and finally the trainers and suppliers of ITIL® related services.
