| Vote for the New ESA Student Section Logo |
|
It's time to vote for the new logo that will represent the ESA Student Section on our website, Facebook group, newsletters and various other items! The ESA Student Section board has narrowed down the numerous submissions to five finalists. Please see below for the logos and their descriptions. Also, some of the logos are working drafts so we may make some slight changes to them before they become our official logo. INSTRUCTIONS:
RULES:
NOTE:
LOGO 1
To vote: email "VOTE YES" on the subject line to esacand1@yahoo.com. Description: This logo highlights how students are one part of the whole, but an important part. Spine-like (plant or animal!), students support the whole ESA structure. Support comes by facilitating, engaging, inquiring, and interacting. Students are an important part of the annual meeting, the ones to ask questions that get the juice flowing, and to look at things in a new way. LOGO 2
To vote: email "VOTE YES" on the subject line to esacand2@yahoo.com. Description: The main goal of this logo design is simplicity. It's meant to capture the discrete position which students hold within the general ESA community. While many of our goals are identical to those of other members, we acknowledge that as students we often have a distinct set of priorities and aspirations from the larger community. The proverbial arrows around the outer circles are simply an ecological adornment meant to give a nod to those of us who study directional biological relationships, whether it be energy flow, net effects, food webs, or life history theory. LOGO 3
To vote: email "VOTE YES" on the subject line to esacand3@yahoo.com. Description: The tree is rooted in students as progress is rooted in the next generation. The giraffe, mushroom, frog, aquatic plant, snail, coral, fish, iguana, butterfly, bird, and tree are representative of mammals, fungi, amphibians, etc. The hiding fish is prey weighing cost of feeding, iguana is foraging predator & the nest is mating and resource allocation/use. The "Join the Network" is there because I was thinking of food webs and phylogenetic networks as well as the student section's purpose of making connections to senior members of ESA. LOGO 4
To vote: email "VOTE YES" on the subject line to esacand4@yahoo.com. Description: This logo is a stylized version of the iconic American ecology flag, published in Look magazine (1970). It combined a green and white U.S.-style flag (representing pure air, green land, and environmental action) with a 1969 cartoon of the Greek letter, theta, as an ecological symbol superimposing the letters e and o from the words "environment" and "organism." The twenty stripes, which are updatable, represent the twenty ESA sections. The flag harkens to the roots of student environmental activism, emphasizes student interaction and communication with professional ecologists, and alludes to the relevancy of professional ecological science in a pop-culture-conscious world. LOGO 5
To vote: email "VOTE YES" on the subject line to esacand5@yahoo.com. Description: The purpose of the Student Section of ESA is to enhance and direct all manner of communication among students and between students and the rest of ESA. The honey bee waggle dance is the quintessential example of visual communication in animals. In this logo, the "student" bee closest to the "student section" hive is waggling in the direction of ESA, communicating to the other student bees to head for the society and bring back experiences to share.
