What we delivered
The Smead Program logo is designed to be both impactful and prestigious, embodying the program’s history and core values. Key elements of the logo include:
- Three Stars: These symbolize the program’s founders and evoke a sense of academic excellence.
- The Arch: Representing movement, community, and collaboration, the arch is a visual cue for the program’s fundamental principles.
- Arrow in the “A”: The upward-pointing arrow within the “A” in “Smead” conveys inspiration and dynamism, reflecting the forward-thinking nature of the program.
This thoughtful design ensures the logo not only looks distinguished but also tells the story of the Smead Program’s heritage and aspirations.
