The Center's Logo

The Center's Original Logo
As the Center began to take shape, a design was needed in order to increase awareness of the Center both off and on campus. Art major Deanna Nelson '98 developed the bold and simple design. The logo started with a variation of a Celtic knot-work pattern. The green background circle is symbolic of the Earth and the continuous ribbon within the circle suggests the interconnectedness of the biological and physical systems of the planet. The four outer loops suggest the cardinal points of the compass and might also suggest the four "elements" of the ancients: earth, air, fire and water.

The Center's New Logo
In 2003, it was decided that it was time for an updated version of the logo to go along with the new look of the Web site. Susan Lindberg, publications designer for the College, came up with a new and improved image for the Goodwin-Niering Center.
