Office of Research & Graduate Studies 

The director of graduate studies requested a logo to represent this department at Central as one of my class projects. Everyone in my class competed against each other to make a logo that needed to encompass all six colleges of Central as well as multiple forms of research without being too representative, meaning it needed to be an abstract idea. I created this design which is shaped like either a nucleus or a flower to signify a sense of growth. There are six half circle shapes and triangles to represent the colleges and interlock with each other to show cohesion. The center is a gradient to show a blending of students of the various colleges. The maroon and gold shapes make abstract arrows pointing up and down which signify the highs and lows of research.
