Our logo should be MINIMALIST in design (and, if possible, dynamic).
Our logo should be based on the idea of a NETWORK (and maybe themes around international / European / education).
The design examples we picked show several different ways of elements (ellipses, dots, shapes) coming together to form a network.
Ideally, the logo would have a stand-alone shape but could also be used with a background circle for seals.
Try to make the logo look interesting and unique by creating negative space. Try to use overlapping shapes and creatively cut off overlapping parts to reduce the logo to a minimalist form.
Try to aim for no more than 3 or 4 elements in the logo.
The challenge is to express the idea of a network (of people) without being too generic. Can you find a way to use abstract forms that just hint at the idea of people (without using generic V-shaped etc. people)?
The logo must be scalable and work:
— on our webpage, business card, letter head
— as a plaquette on school and university homepages to display that they are EduNet Europe Ambassador Institutions
— as a "seal of quality" on academy certificates
— as an app icon
— (as favicon)
Please note:
We will try to give verbal feedback instead of handing out stars.

Final files
If you use fonts that require a license, confirm with the client they're ok with it. For licensing reasons, it is better to provide your client with information on how to acquire the font rather than providing the actual files.
Text in logos should be converted to outlines.
This is an existing logo we found on the internet. We used the mirror-image and added our company name. We like the dynamics and that the ellipses symbolise both "network" and "impact".
