\u201cThe principle role of a logo is to identify, and simplicity is its means\u2026Its effectiveness depends on distinctiveness, visibility, adaptability, memorability, universality and timelessness.\u201d<\/p>\n

– Paul Rand<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The genius behind the logos of some of the most iconic brands like IBM and UPS couldn\u2019t have said it any better. Even the most basic elements of design<\/a> may seem overwhelming for a lone graphic to carry on its own. However, it is these aspects that also make the establishment that it represents shine. The logos of educational<\/a> establishments are a case in point. With so many rival academic organizations vying for attention, it becomes necessary for them to make themselves more visible.<\/p>\n

The \u2018University of Texas in Austin\u2019 sports a logo that is hard to miss. If you take a look at their logo, you can see that the designer has included the institute\u2019s academic symbol in the design. The symbol is derived from university\u2019s official seal so its addition is a clever touch. Plus, the choice of typeface goes splendidly with the burnt orange color and really draws the eye.<\/p>\n

2. \u2018UIC\u2019: Goes Vertical<\/h2>\n

The \u2018University of Illinois at Chicago\u2019 has a logo that is vertically inclined. You may have to tilt your head sideways to make sense of the lettering. However, look at it long enough and you will see that the designer has cleverly emulated the Chicago skyline in the design. The UIC lettering at the bottom also adds a bit of pizzazz to the design by emulating an exclamation. This is a pretty creative way to pay homage to UIC as a big city university.<\/p>\n

3. \u2018Ryerson University\u2019: Uses Color To Its Benefit<\/h2>\n

\"Ryerson<\/a><\/p>\n

Twitter: <\/strong>@ryersonu<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The logo of \u2018Ryerson University\u2019 incorporates blue and gold colors which make for a bright palette. This shows good insight and understanding of important factors of an educational logo design<\/a> on the designer\u2019s part. The bright visuals draw attention especially since the yellow bar seems to hover above the typeface. The typeface itself is also pretty decent and overall, the effect of the imagery is pretty easy on the eyes as well.<\/p>\n

4. \u2018Boundless\u2019: Goes Modern<\/h2>\n

\"Boundless<\/a><\/p>\n

Twitter: <\/strong>@GoBoundless<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Designers who want to know how to add finesse into logo design should take a page from the \u2018Boundless\u2019 book. If you look at their logo, you can see that the symbol open books. This seems to emphasize on \u2018Boundless\u2019 as an educational venture. The light colors provide excellent eye candy. The typeface does well to mimic the light design as well. In the end, the design of the logo is simple yet effective enough to make you take notice.<\/p>\n

5. \u2018HSB\u2019: Keeps Its Logo On Point<\/h2>\n

\"HSB<\/a><\/p>\n

Twitter: <\/strong>@HS_Bremen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

You can see that the designer cleverly incorporates the abbreviation \u2018HSB\u2019 in the logo of the \u2018Hochschule Bremen City University of Applied Sciences\u2019. It takes center stage. It was also thoughtful of the designer to spell the full name of the institute below. And the geometric shape in the key imagery is a nice touch since it is indicative of the city’s coat of arms.<\/p>\n

6. \u2018Debroc\u2019: Adopts A Straightforward Design<\/h2>\n

\"Debroc<\/p>\n

Twitter: <\/strong>@DeBrocBusiness<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Debroc\u2019 is a business school and the designer who was responsible for this logo clearly took that aspect into account. The variety of typeface in the \u2018Debroc\u2019 logo adds a nice modern touch. And a corporate color pallet perfectly represents the serious ambience of a business school as well. The monogram is a mesh of the letters \u201cD\u201d and \u201cB\u201d which works quite well for a abstract minimalist logo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7. \u2018ArtCenter\u2019: Goes Big On Orange<\/h2>\n

\"ArtCenter<\/a><\/p>\n

Twitter: <\/strong>@artcenteredu<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The designer responsible for the \u2018ArtCenter\u2019 logo incorporated a large orange dot to make the design stand out; and it works! The black Neue Haas Grotesk<\/em> word mark at the side also makes both the text and symbol work together to form a logo that is truly unique<\/a>. Again, you got to love that orange. It seems fitting for a design school.<\/p>\n

8. \u2018The Gotham Writers\u2019: A Logo Or A Work Of Art?<\/h2>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Twitter: <\/strong>@gothamwriters<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018The Gotham Writers\u2019 is a community of writers. If you look at this logo, you realize that designers can achieve more with a lot less. See how the letters \u201cW\u201d and \u201cG\u201d come together to form a tip of a pencil. This is an innovative touch especially if you take the writing community\u2019s mission into consideration. Plus this symbol can easily be used as a standalone component without the full lettering beside it as well.<\/p>\n

9. \u2018Liverpool Guild Of Students\u2019 : Flag Logo<\/h2>\n

\"Liverpool<\/a><\/p>\n

Twitter: <\/strong>@LiverpoolGuild<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The \u2018Liverpool Guild of Students\u2019 is a student\u2019s union whose main purpose is to attract students to boost their skills. The designer who created this logo clearly had this aspect in mind since the design looks like three flags or a signpost. The spaces between each of the three bars are equal to the thickness of the mast which adds symmetry. And the bars can be colored any way which makes for a very flexible design. Imagine how good it would look like on a poster or letterhead.<\/p>\n

\"Martin<\/a><\/p>\n

Twitter: <\/strong>@Martin_College<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The designer who created the logo for \u2018Martin\u2019 college proves that even a single component of a logo design may speak volumes if it is implemented well. Take a look at the \u201cM\u201d in this design. Doesn\u2019t it look like an open book? Or does it signify \u201cM\u201d for Martin? The interpretation is left to the audience; a pretty innovative use of imagery, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n
