Why MOSAIC?
What better way to reflect a variety
of skills that work together, than a mosaic? Also, what better way
to reflect the fact that the proprietor is energized by variety and
learning? Additionally, what better to convey that any project may
only use a piece of the mosaic or may entail all the mosaic elements? To be honest,
originally the logo was going to be interlocking puzzle pieces and with
Microsoft and others already using that motif, it was felt we could come
up with something else, something more unique and a little better
fitting. Once we settled on a "Mosaic," we were off and
running.
LOGO History
Okay, so now we have the concept
of a Mosaic ... now what? The idea was to reflect the breadth of
what Mosaic does and use our in-house artist (our daughter at age 12) to
craft a suitable logo. Research was easy ... I just mentioned
research around the world and using computers and the globe with a
keyboard evolved! Documentation was also easy though we took
liberties to use a quill pen (it's actually a computer that is used!) as
it made for a more interesting picture. The light bulb was also
included since documenting something requires some thought and
inspiration to convey the desired message in an interesting and yet
clear fashion. Genealogy was a little harder, not that it doesn't
lead to many images and we wanted something a little different than a
tree (probably the image most associated with genealogy) and we couldn't
re-use the globe since we really liked it for research and so we opted
for a key "unlocking" a shield/coat of arms. Last, and not least,
was Project Management. This one took the most thought ... how to
convey leading and not necessarily solely running a project, being part
of a decision process and not necessarily the ultimate decision-maker,
and figuring out paths and directions which may or may not lead directly
to the desired goals? It was decided that a compass best conveyed
the core idea of guiding a project and/or group and managing that
process. Though, it doesn't preclude doing administrative project
management activities.
