This was a process that really intimidated me I spent a lot of time thinking before I even started. I also must say I really appreciate being able to look at other peoples logo in the Innovators Lab I actually look at the pages, the info graphics it is just a nice guide it makes me feel supported.
One thing I realized as I was looking at other logos was that I like simple clear right to th point logos. I want my logo to reflect my Capstone work as well as being a hook in itself to draw people in. Obviously I would be reaching out to fellow math teacher, academic specialist, and administrators looking for ways to improve math programs. As I did some research on some visual meanings I realized that the images inside the light bulb refer to coding. I am concerned that most people may not know that but the light bulb clearly represents learning or understanding both my daughters agreed with that idea. I am still thinking about adding a tag line under my logo and also wonder if it should be outlined like a badge or something ? I really enjoyed playing and creating with Logomakr it was very user friendly and saved right to my computer. I like that we were asked to create a drafted I created many and I am hoping for time to have some critical friends discussions and feedback. My final Capstone appearance really matters to me so I want to really take my time and make sure everything I place on my Capstone reflects directly to my research and teaching philosophies. I have also appreciated looking at completed logo and info graphics from this class to give me ideas about things I like and things I want to do differently. I am still unsure about what I want on my info graphic that is going to take me forever since some present results/findings and others philosophies/ pedagogy. I do enjoy the creativeness of this process and I wish I had more time to explore other logo creating websites I am sure there are many great ones each offering something a little different` My daughter wanted me to try Adobe Illustrator? Maybe for my info graphic. It is pretty exciting to start seeing our work all start to come together in our creative projects and our Capstone. We are getting close.

I feel the way you do: I want my Capstone website to look professional. spent a lot of time exploring logos. You would think their would be thousands of options for tech and writing. Not really. I am so grateful that we are on summer break, and have time to put some real thought into what we want to accomplish. Like you said about the light bulb's hidden meaning, will other's get it? It's nice to be able to have the time to really ask ourselves those questions and be able to explore our options. As far as your infographic: I went to SNAPPA. It took me a really long time, but it looks professional. Check it out.

Julie, I always love reading your blog--I can always really identify with your experiences. Coming up with a logo has been VERY intimidating to me--being a very left brained thinker. I also enlisted my family to help me! I had a completely different name and logo done before the class helped me realize I could use my first choice name (It Takes a Village). So I went through the process twice of coming up with a logo and phrase below. It's really a personal process, like art. I love your logo and how you have code embedded in the image! Keep playing when you can, while watching a movie with the fam, or whatever--but I love the one you have posted here!
