The internet has changed the ways people communicate and look for information, as well as the way they do business. The time when starting a business was a matter of money has long passed. Now, it’s a matter of ingenuity.

This new design strives for a clean, simple and elegant design with pops of beautiful images to represent the diverse interests and passions across the Ning Platform.

Our new logo will also replace our old logo in the Ningbar you see at the top of your Ning Network. Here’s the new Ning About page:
