Oxford Business English Logo

Oxford Business English

I am a qualified teacher of English as a foreign language and hold an MBA. I live in Oxford and have secured the rights to Oxfordbusinessenglish.com and Oxfordbusinessenglish.co.uk. I intend to build a very simple web site to promote my business and am looking for a suitable logo.

I envisage that my students will be young professionals with an intermediate command of the English language seeking to raise their English to a higher standard in order to further their career.

I do not want to impose any restrictions on the design but contestants may wish to bear in mind the following.

Oxford has a history of higher education spanning more than 800 years.

Many people speak of "The Dreaming Spires of Oxford" see http://cpi.politics.ox.ac.uk for an example of how this concept is used.

The University of Oxford colour is dark blue and this colour is often used to associate a business with Oxford.

It would be desirable to suggest a sense of confidence and dependability as some language schools have a poor reputation.
