Describe who/what this design is about

GlobaLinks Learning Abroad is a 20 year old study abroad company - we send students from the US and Canada to study abroad in destinations around the world on a variety of different types of programs (semester, year, summer, internships, and degree programs).

GlobaLinks Learning Abroad began as AustraLearn - focused exclusively on Australia and New Zealand. Then in 2008, AustraLearn expanded its study abroad programs to new regions of the world. AsiaLearn and EuroLearn were formed in direct response to increasing demand from study abroad advisors, students, and parents seeking structured, well supported, and affordable study abroad programs in these regions.

Because of our geographic diversity, we have multiple web properties that focus on our different regions of the world. These websites all tie back to our parent website and include:

1. www.globalinksabroad.org – Provides an overview of all our programs in abbreviated fashion with broad details and pushes to individual sites (see below) for more specific information
2. www.australearn.org – Provides a “deep dive” on semester/year, internships, and summer programs in Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji
3. www.eurolearn.org – Provides a “deep dive” on semester/year and summer programs in Europe
4. www.asialearn.org – Provides a “deep dive” on semester/year and summer programs in Asia
5. www.degreesoverseas.com – Provides a “deep dive” on degree programs in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK
6. www.globalinksnewswire.com – Our “news” site showcasing articles about our staff, students, and partners.

Currently our three “learn” logos are our primary product brands distinguishing our three main regions; however our goal is to shift to a single brand approach to increase the visibility and awareness of the GlobaLinks Learning Abroad as the company name and brand. This shift in brand emphasis will mean elimination of our three regional brands called “AustraLearn”, “EuroLearn” and “AsiaLearn”.

We have 2 separate key audiences - students and their advisors. Although college students are a fairly easy target market to describe, the study abroad advisors at universities play a key role in the decision making process of a student looking for a program abroad. They value academic quality, professionalism and student safety. Our logo must appeals to both markets.

I'm thinking that the globe could go in the middle of the people flower thing - an don't cut off the s in our name

I added a couple of images to the brief that I'd like to see if possible - a world map made up of other smaller images. Let's try moving away from people and globes and see if something else works for me.

Logozone - I like #52 - but not the little things coming off - what else would illicit a feeling of discovery that you could work into that globe?

Can anyone try something that is a bit more of brush stroke art? I like the style - here's an example: http://www.puddleduckvineyard.com.au/

Thanks everyone - Still looking for more ideas. Of these that are here - can I see #28 with a world somehow incorporated? And #21 - Can you resubmit with the word spelled GlobaLinks (using the caps the same way I have and adding the s on the end).

Thanks to everyone for your submissions so far! I am looking for something that really evokes a feeling of discovery - it shouldn't look corporate or as if it could be any company in any industry. If you can take the graphic and pick it up and pair it with the name of a high-tech company, then it isn't going to work for us. Of all those submitted thus far, #15 is probably most along the right lines. However, no images of books please (learning can often be experimental and not books only). I like circles because they look like a globe without being a globe. Overall, it needs to give a feeling of discovery, growth, learning, and experience.

I should have said in the brief that the logo can be with or without the tag line.
