First of all, nice first entry, please keep them coming! We like the apple being incorprated into the logo, and do like the idea of having the teacher and the student being represented. However we feel that the u is not quite clear enough, and it is not immedialtely clear that the u is meant to represent a teacher and a pupil.
Could you try another version of this to try and incorporate these thoughts. We would also like the U in education to be highlighted, like the "U" that is highlighted under the company name. A way to incorporate the aspect of pupil and teacher into the logo, may be to have the apple on a childs hand or something along those lines, to give out the message of the teacher being given an apple by the pupil.
It is however a very good start, so we would like to see more along these lines!
Still preferring #1 - we like the apple, but still an issue with the U not being clear enough. Could you try one with a normal U in the apple and also one with maybe a childs hand holding an apple with the U in it?
