Logo Design Brief
We need a logo design for our business called Partners In Learning.
We work to place international students in private schools across the U.S., living with American families. We "partner" with agencies around the world, private schools in the U.S. and with American families who host our students. Our organization promotes deeper cross cultural understanding and English language proficiency.
The final design should communicate excellence in academic preparedness and trustworthy relationships.
