THOUGHTFUL SPACING
The space between the wordmark and logo has been logically considered for effortless structure.
POWERFUL IMAGERY
The T is designed to resemble a pillar/column. The circle on top creates a humanistic, “pillar of society” motif. The column also alludes to the steps at Columbia University and other educational facilitates.
BALANCED
The perfectly balanced logo creates a sense of ease while also alluding to a Strat-Tank’s purpose of balancing access to all media.
