Our Logo
Our logo represents, visually, who we are as an organization. The ASCUE Logo is composed of both a symbol and wordmark. The symbol is a stylized digital letter “A” (called “the digital a”) suggesting collaboration, connection, and community. The smaller triangles come together to form a greater “whole” – that is, ASCUE. Each of the 11 triangles being a different color embodies the idea that we each of our members has a unique story, and they bring their individual experience, skills, and creativity to better the ASCUE community.
