Identity study · 01

Six marks for knowledge passed forward.

Each direction uses the welcome-title green, #7fe3ae, with a deeper companion green for contrast on light surfaces. The set explores transmission, access, presence, and collective memory without falling back on generic AI symbolism.

The Relay logo: a bright piece of chalk passed between two hands
01 / Selected identity

The Relay

A bright piece of chalk moves between two open hands. The mark makes the relay literal without depicting a particular teacher: knowledge is useful because someone receives it and chooses to pass it on. The opposing diagonal keeps it active and recognizable without circles or progress-chart geometry.

Open Board logo: two open teaching surfaces with light above
02 / Most educational

The Open Board

An open book and a two-sided teaching board share the same silhouette. The center seam represents the meeting point between teacher and learner; the short rays suggest the moment an explanation lands.

Chalk R logo: a single-stroke letter R ending near a point of light
03 / Most direct

The Chalk R

A single confident stroke turns the initial into a board-drawn monogram. The independent dot acts as both a chalk mark and a small source of light. This direction has the strongest name recognition but carries less of the larger mission on its own.

The Bridge logo: a suspension bridge with a bright central crossing
04 / Most mission-led

The Bridge

A suspension bridge closes the distance between a learner and the teacher they may never otherwise meet. Towers, hanging cables, and a straight deck make the object unambiguous; the bright center is the moment access becomes a real crossing.

The Beacon logo: a teaching point sending widening signals
05 / Most product-like

The Beacon

One attentive point sends an idea outward in widening arcs. The small backward rays keep it from reading as a wireless icon: this is a source of illumination whose teaching can travel beyond the room where it began.

The Commons logo: four paths and people gathered around a shared center
06 / Most collective

The Commons

Four people and four open paths orbit one shared center. Knowledge is not owned by the brightest node; it belongs to the whole. The form feels global and communal, though it is less immediately connected to a one-to-one tutor.
