My beautiful and skilled friend Mrs. Del Moral has suggested I do a couple of modifications to my original logo, which I think make it look a lot better. I however, have become too biased and would like a bit of fresh criticism from you. Here I am posting the three candidates for the job, please comment on which one you prefer and why!
Thank you all!!!
So…I have finally finished the design of my logo. It took a while, but I am very happy with the final result. Pending a quick review by a mentor and a couple of artistic friend’s perspectives, and it’s off to the next step of my personal branding.The logo is actually based on a picture taken at work recently. It is a dissociated neuron in cell culture sprouting neurites trying to connect to its final target.
I chose a neuron not simply because I have worked at a preclinical laboratory that focuses on spinal cord injury for the last three years; the meaning behind it a lot more complex than that. Neurons are remarkably resilient if threatened by external stimuli. They will attempt to reconnect back to its target time and time again and find alternative routes to go about it. Under normal circumstances, they constantly fine-tune their physiology to better perform their function. Their “plasticity” that allows them to adapt to changing environments is a characteristic that I strive to achieve.
Just as neurons are constantly “inspired to change” by the stimuli they receive, I take after neurons to meet the challenges my career will set forth.
I just came out of our first (hopefully of several) feedback session with the dean of the faculty. I am sincerely amazed of how friendly and approachable the faculty, admin and the dean were to feedback and constructive criticism. Other faculties at UBC would do well to follow their lead in listening what students have to say. For too long have universities maintained a top-down strategy to address change and implement new technologies. This bottom up approach is refreshing and will surely help leverage the student’s input on best teaching practices.
