Logo Design Brief
With regard to our group: we are a pretty diverse group of scientists and human performance engineers (Neuroscientists, physiologists, psychologists, etc.) who evaluate Navy weapon systems (aviation - manned and unmanned systems mostly) for their interface and workload (can the human use it effectively, efficiently, and safely).
The new lab uses simulation with eye tracking and EEG technologies to evaluate human performance during tasks related to aviation displays and website (internal) design. Our lab is the Research in Applied Testing in Humans (RATH) lab. Our informal slogan is "We're mad for science". (we have kind of a 'mad scientist' vibe going).
Things that we feel identify us:
• the (new) name of the lab is RATH (Research and Applied Testing in Humans) which sounds like WRATH
• we are located in the desert
• we consider ourselves ‘lab rats’
• we have a sense of humor, but we spend a lot of time defending what we do (we are the only biologically focused lab on a base full of dedicated engineers)
• we are ‘brain’ focused in our research and testing
• we are nerds who love fantasy and sci-fi
• Most Navy logos here are a bit aggressive, so we want to fall in line with that
• No real color preference to speak of
