The revolution starts with a redesign.
There is much more to an identity than simply the logo. However, the logo does serve as a powerful visual communication tool. It gives insight into what people can expect from the school.
The logo should serve as a catalyst for change and breathe new life into the brand and represent the university’s new direction.
