ROOTED is an acronym that stands for Respecting Our Origins in Technology through EDucation in Agriculture. We would like some logos to have the tagline and some without it. The idea for the logo is to attract high school students to want to learn about technology in agriculture (drones, biotechnology, precision agriculture, etc.) We will be using Virtual Reality as part of the curriculum and would like some logos to highlight the VR component (but not all as VR may become less popular in the future).
Some of our possible ideas to highlight:
ROOTED (each letter is a picture)
The two Os are goggles
Some sort of roots (but no sprouts or leaves)
Graphic representation of each letter in ROOTED
Some keywords for ideas: agriculture, virtual reality, technology, transition and adaptation, evolving, climate, environment
We would prefer a more organic, not geometric, design and not be leaning towards futuristic, it is technology but has a strong historical/cultural connection
Our preferred color choices are
Green (#2D882D)
Blue (#226666)
The design should communicate an adventure / a look into the world of agriculture through history, culture, and the future and technology.
