Logo Design Brief
uSwim is an online, global resource for teaching children to swim. We wish to relaunch uswim.com with both a strong "corporate style" logo for the overall uSwim brand (in the style of uber, spacex, deloitte, etc), along with another logo providing an identity for our "Steps" program (children's swimming). These logos should have similar identity though "Steps" should gain an image which resembles steps (like stairs/stages in a program). Reason why is the program is broken into steps/stages which allows people to easily achieve the end goal. Colours like blue, grey, purple, green would be good. Please no yellow or red. Minimal Style. Corporate logo's desired positioning is "the global authority on children's swimming" but the "Steps" logo can become a bit more approachable with the graphic, but not too "kiddy".
