A logo is the most important marketing piece for an organization because it must represent the organization in many different contexts and instantaneously communicate identity and mission. A logo may be seen on the web, in a brochure, on letterhead stationery, or a t-shirt. It may be used on dark backgrounds, on light backgrounds, on textured surfaces, or be used in various sizes such as a large outside sign or on a business card.  It is important to know that simplicity does not mean that the logo is missing anything. In fact, to aid in functionality, the logo must be simple.
    
A great logo must have the ability to be printed or used in all of the contexts mentioned above and still represent the Spruill Center effectively. A few things that are important when talking about functionality are the simplicity, scalability, color, and depth. It's important to the functionality of a logo that it is not too intricate. When the logo is reduced in size or placed on a loud background, it should retain its integrity. In addition, the logo should allow for both color or gray scale presentation.

 
Wouldn't you like to see your design chosen to represent the Spruill Center?
