We also tutor a wide variety of high school subjects, as well as work with students on their college applications.

Updates

Hello, 

Thank you so much for your submissions! Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had a major change and have decided to go with another name: Incite Education Group  "the spark to an exceptional score" inspire*insight*incite 

Designbay has said that instead of opening an entirely new contest, that I should message all designers, making you all aware of the change. The brief stays somewhat intact, in terms of the demographics, and our overall company description. However, the name 'Incite' opens up new directions for possible logos, such as capitalizing on the idea of a spark, fire/flame, or impetus, in addition to the more college related imagery (clock tower, books, college campuses, test taking.) 

Also, we were thinking that the design of the text itself could make use of the 2nd i in the word incite, replacing the dot with either a spark or flame, etc. That in addition to a separate symbol to be used for branding. The color palette we are going for: 890317 wine/red color  D3D1D1 gray  (mid range) in Adobe illustrator

We would be so appreciative if you could submit new designs for this project! 

Thank you so much for your work!
