Chicago Tech Academy Logo Design

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

Chicago Academy of Advanced Technology (CAAT) is a new career academy high school opening in the fall of 2009. There will be 600 high school students with a curriculum based on entrepreneurship and information technology skills. Kids learn both the technical aptitude and soft skills to become tech leaders. http://www.chicagotechacademy.org/

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

Let's start with a cool logo... this will be used on web and in print (and might even end up as a part of mascots and t-shirts someday! ;-)).

We need a logo that emphasizes "Chicago Tech", but still incorporates the "Advanced Technology Academy". You can submit variations that either use "CAAT", or "Chicago Tech" as the main focal point.

Colors: Blue and Orange

Possible Iconography: communications, arrows, etc

Themes: IT, entrepreneurship, students

Mascot: Undecided, but "badger" is one option... tenacious, takes on much larger animals, and forms small clans (ie entrepreneur). If it somehow incorporated ingenuity, it would be even better. We're open to other mascot and icon suggestions.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

High School students, parents, and donors to support the school.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

Attached logo for "Gorilla Juice" could be interesting concept, if it had a ingenuous badger, and said "Chicago Tech" where "Gorilla Juice" is, and "Career Academy" where Conquer your Jungle" is.
