A Student-Designed Logo

A few months ago, Alara approached me to help in my quest for a meaningful logo for my website. Working systematically, she first sat me down to find out the following:
  1. What was the purpose of the site?
  2. Who was my main audience?
  3. What elements were particularly important?

My answers drove her quest:
  1. To provide support materials for the units being covered in class.
  2. My students.
  3. Mobile-friendly materials that could be accessed by students on their long service bus journeys or when they had nothing better to do with their smart phones.

Her first visualisation was a tree, symbolising education, with wi-fi signals coming from it. The tree then underwent many transformations, but something wasn't quite "it". The design felt too complicated. I mentioned that I had read that a logo should be simple enough for a child to draw.

Then after our semester break, she returned with what you see here. The elements of education and web-friendly are packaged in a simple, easy-to-draw manner.

What was her motivation? Just to do something that was creative and meaningful for someone else. It is.

Thank you  Alara. Now I need to make my website worthy of such a logo.
