Logo Design Brief
I will start an independent practice where I advise students and families on the college admissions process. I want the word "college" to be in the name and also include a black graduation cap - perhaps hanging on the left of the logo - or you can decide where it should go.
I would like for the design to appeal to 21st century tastes, youth as well as their parents. Some themes that I want to convey:
guidance/navigation
journey/path/pathways - options
transformation/self-exploration
fit/match (there is a college for everyone..fit matters the most)
a modern look - colors that appeal to all
confidence/happiness - we can do this!
sustainable - in that I will use this logo on EVERYTHING going forward - cards, website, brochure, social media, etc...
I am playing with the following names. I know that when I see the logo, it will determine the name for me and not the other way around.
text should be:
CollegeQuest
the tagline "guiding the way." should be underneath - on the right (flush right)
