Our Ideas & Additional Information
Our slogan, as it is right now, is "rise. move. connect. discover." These four ideas represent "pillars" that we aim to achieve with our students. If there is a way to incorporate these four metaphorical "pillars" into the abstract design, that would be ideal.
Movement upwards is a big theme. Images enclosed in shapes (like circles) I'm not ruling out, but many feel confining to me which is contrary to our mission.
Stand alone logos are welcome as are logos that incorporate the name or the initials (AIWA). Incorporating the logo into the A or the I are things we have played with ourselves.
Again, key words are "upward" and "movement" curves, arcs, brushstrokes, etc. If the A of "Ascendance" is included, all the better, but it is not a deal-breaker if it is omitted.
