Bilingual logo for a new surgical innovation training program

ÉTS - École de technologie supérieure

Surgical Innovation is a medical technology innovation training program that aims to act as a neutral territory in which academia, clinicians and industry can collaborate to develop novel medical technologies. The program is an active partnership between multiple universities (The Department of Surgery of McGill University, John Molson School of Business, Computer Science and Software Engineering of Concordia University and École de Technologie Supérieure), engages with hospital and is supported by industry.

Surgical Innovators work as part of an innovation team with Experimental Surgery, Business, Engineereers to learn about the innovation process for new Surgical Devices by doing it.

The program is based on the highly successful Stanford Biodesign model of Needs Identification-Invention-Implementation.

Teaching is delivered by engineers, clinicians, industry experts, entrepreneurs, attorneys and business faculty and our program follows the approach of Learn & Design & Innovate.

Trainees build prototypes, develop IP, learn regulatory issues, and develop business strategies to both add value to their work and to understand the innovation process.

This new training program training will enable students to develop the skills required to design and implement market innovations that meet the needs of the surgical environment.

We would like to have a Bilingual (English and French) logo for our new Master program: Surgical Innovation - Innovation chirurgie

The logo needs to fit our 3 universities color scheme (mainly red) and have an institutional ''flavor'' = simple, no bling bling ! - please refer to our 3 websites: http://www.etsmtl.ca, http://www.mcgill.ca, http://www.concordia.ca

The name ''Surgical Innovation AND Innovation chirurgie'' needs to be the main focus.

As non-designer we thought the word ''Innovation" could be the center of it since it's the same in both language...but feel free to innovate!

NO MORE BULB LIGHTS DESIGN

We know it is not the most interesting project in the world ! But we need your help to shape our new program image. It is a priority project for us and we have a big program launch coming... so we don't want our money back = we will find the perfect logo :)
