Logo Design Brief
We need a logo to use for our lab on signage, the web, print materials, slide presentations, etc. The name of our lab is ATLAS which stands for "Advancing Teams, Leaders, and Systems" We are a research lab comprised of students and faculty who conduct experiments to learn how to make teams work! We study all kinds of teams: military, space, science, healthcare, education. We also study technologies that make teams work better. We want to convey a startup entrepreneurial culture. This logo will appear on our website, on our slides, and in brochures. We want to use it to brand ourselves. Northwestern university has a color scheme of purples and grays available on their website. We would like to use those. We want the logo to be memorable. An abstract image conveying collaboration, leadership, etc. would help make it stand out.
