16 Oct History of the Logo – You Made It!
Wedu now has an awesome new logo and we feel this has really been the result of the collaboration of the whole Wedu community. We want to thank the designers who supported us in the development as well as all the people who took the time to share their views on the preliminary version. Three designers worked on the logo: Miriam Morato, Spanish designer currently living in Bangkok, Thailand; Greg Lam, talented Canadian student; and Alice Mazzilli, Italian, living in London. They put their talent pro-bono and enthusiastically shared their ideas and vision with us. Thank you! Special thanks go to Miriam for her whole contribution to defining several aspects of Wedu’s brand. Among our staff a big thanks goes to Xiju who has been coordinating the process and contributing with her own ideas and proposals. Indeed, the biggest appreciation goes to all- 1
