Logo Design Brief

We need a logo for a new startup based in Canberra, Australia called Polycademy.

Polycademy is a physical school (not just online education) in Canberra that teaches web application development from a top-down framework. Its customers will be entrepreneurial highschool students or adults who want to reskill. Students are placed in teams and are taught web tech by starting with envisioning their own project to coding and deployment. Students finish the course not with a shiny paper, but an actual usable application. The development experience integrates industry practices such as using revision control systems and agile development methodologies, and also includes workshops in deploying it to the market. Polcademy hopes to expand to mobile application development, game development, and hardware hacking.

Polycademy will also eventually launch internationally, but the focus currently is in Australia.

It will also be launching a program called CodeforAustralia that gets highschool students to work on web applications that will be beneficial to community and government. But that is a separate program.

We would like see a design that emphasizes:

1. Technology Education (web/mobile application)
2. Cutting Edge Innovation
3. Startup Entrepreneurship
4. Closing the digital divide
5. Hacking Culture
6. Communicable to people who aren't technical

Inspiration/Competitors from:
http://starterleague.com/
http://www.codeschool.com/
http://teamtreehouse.com/
http://http://www.codecademy.com/
https://www.edx.org/
http://codeforamerica.org/

However we want our logo to differentiate us from all of these text based logos.

The logo will eventually be used as a base for the rest of the web design. So the colours in the logo will be very important.

BTW, Polycademy is a portmanteau of Polymath and Academy.
