Star Program Logo

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

The STAR (Science Teacher and Researcher) program is a summer scientific research internship for early career science and mathematics teachers. One of the main goals of the STAR program is to provide the participants who are future science and/or math teachers with professional identities as scientists as well. A second major goal is to build a community of teacher-researchers.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We are interested in a logo for the STAR program. We would like a design that can serve many functions. The logo will be used on many different media: program application materials, promotional materials (i.e. brochures and flyers) and possibly shirts and backpacks. We are open to a logo that uses many colors, but that can be modified for just one color as well.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Our main audience is science and mathematics minded-individuals interested in becoming science and mathematics teachers. We also distribute our promotional materials to potential lab-partners, funders, industry partners and university partners. Therefore, we would like a logo that would appeal to a broad audience, but with a profession look.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

Our initial idea for a logo was one that had a celestial, outer-space design, however we are not committed to that idea. We also like the idea of our logo representing a network or connectivity.

We are approaching this with an open mind, and look forward to what you, the graphic designers, design.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

We do not want a standard 5-pointed star in our logo. If you choose to incorporate a star, we would prefer one that is celestial-looking or is a more abstract version of a typical star.

We are open different color choices and fonts.

Please include the words STAR Program in the logo. STAR should remain in all capitals. Also, we are open to including the STAR acronym spelled out (Science Teacher and Researcher), but it is not necessary.

Thanks for your interest in designing the STAR Program logo. We look forward to seeing your designs.
