Logos Logos Logos.

New brief was to design a logo which communicates "Introduction to Study in Higher Education", with our own personal mission statement as a starting point.

I took the photographed variations into Photoshop, and after a lot of attempts at getting the angles and positioning of the arrow just right, here is the final result:
