Innovative New Program for High School Grads Needs Logo

Belltower New Orleans (Belltower should be much more prominent than New Orleans. Belltower should be one word but we're open to BellTower, Belltower, or BELLTOWER)

Our organization works to provide more & better post-secondary academic and professional opportunities for high school graduates in New Orleans, LA. Rather than pushing all high school grads into college programs they may not be ready for (often resulting in them leaving school early with no degree and a ton of debt), we'll explore multiple possible ways to help them get more ready for college, help them graduate, and/or find other job opportunities.

We have two target audiences: the students we'll work to help and the donors who will help fund the program.

We want the logo to convey hope, opportunity, progress, gravitas, and trust. It should feel inspirational but also pragmatic (this is about real results, not empty promises). Try to stay away from overly corporate look & feel - this should be warmer than what you'd expect to see from a bank.

Interested to see options that include an icon, but this isn't necessary. However, if using an icon or graphic, we don't want overtly academic imagery, as the program is still evolving and needs flexibility to do more than just academic offerings (though using a bell tower icon would be okay).

A bright blue or blueish green should be the dominant color, with yellow as the accent. Tend to prefer sans serif fonts.

Thanks so much! We look forward to reviewing your submissions :)
