We are unique
We provide subject-specific Continuing Professional Developmentand for lecturers and subject leaders in languages, linguistics and area studies in Higher Education.
We are looking for a bold, contemporary and easy to read logo which reflects our work over the past 11 years but also gives a fresh look to our brand.
Target Audience
HE lecturers in languages, linguistics & area studies (LLAS). We are in a transitional phase from being fully government-funded to self-sustaining. We want to convey that we are continuing our business as usual and all cost increases are enabling us to maintain the high level of service we have been offering.
What our logo should communicate
We are continuing with services we've provided over the last 11 years. We are reliable, knowledgeable, competent, trustworthy, innovative, supportive, responsive, dynamic.
First impressions on our logo should be
The LLAS logo reflects LLAS experience, professionalism and academic integrity without looking corporate.
Additional comments for the designers
The logo could either say: 'LLAS Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies' or just 'LLAS'
We would like to keep our current brand colour: purple. See at http://www.llas.ac.uk. This is partly because we think it is a good colour and partly because it maintains a link with the past.
Styles we are interested in:
Abstract Mark
Abstract marks use a single shape or symbol to represent a brand or product. Their genius is their
simplicity as customers recognize abstract logos at a single glance.
Letterform Mark
A letterform mark typically uses 1 to 3 letters from the business name to represent the
organization.
Word Mark
A word mark consists of the company's name in a stylized type.
