Cool new logo needed for Internet English Company

English Academy Online

After teaching English throughout Asia for the past 5 years we have decided that teaching English through the internet would serve as the easiest most convenient way for a student who wants to learn the language. The internet serves as the best medium to reach students who might not feel comfortable in a classroom setting. We want to give the opportunity to give the student their own personal teacher to learn from, all from the convenience of their home computer.

Our audience will consist mainly of Korean, Japanese and Chinese students. We wish to be able to target all ages since we believe that everyone should be given the opportunity to learn the language. Currently the market in Korea is aimed at young children to adolescents however we feel that college aged students and adults in the business world can also benefit from our services.

We like the idea that our company is global and can connect students with opportunities to actively use their English. We also like the idea of having a globe-like logo but that's not something that we adhere to. We aren't artists so we would really appreciate an artist's point of view on a logo. We don't want anything cartoony but at the same time nothing too professional if that makes any sense. We really want to appeal to all age groups so a logo that can do that would be most excellent. We are targeting an Asian market but we don't want an Asian looking symbol. Actually a logo that could be adapted into several versions might be what we are looking for. In terms of color scheme we like blue and orange but colors can are completely up to you as the designer. We would prefer non feminine colors though. We have attached a small drawing as an example of what we are looking for. We were not satisfied with the look however because the company name is not easily recognizable. Please design the logo with a symbol as well as visibility of the company name. No stock images or clipart please. We also need the files to be in .ai, .jpg, and layered .psd (RGB).
