Learning Round Table Announces New Logo
Feb 25th
LEARNING ROUND TABLE PRESS RELEASE
CHICAGO, Feb. 25, 2010 – The Learning Round Table of the American Library Association unveiled a new logo on the Web site http://alalearning.org. The new logo contains a vibrant palette of colors including purple, blue, orange and green. The abstract design has many different meanings and the public is encouraged to comment on the ALA Learning site and describe what the design represents to them.
The logo was designed by Jennifer Palmer a graphic designer and illustrator based in northern California. Palmer, a former senior production designer for American Libraries Magazine and Booklist publications, said, “I designed the logo to convey a feeling of professionalism, diversity, quality, and forward thinking while embracing the fun and welcoming spirit of the Learning Round Table members and leadership.”
Learning Round Table president, Pat Carterette, said that, “The new logo marks the culmination of a project that has been in the works for over a year to rebrand the Learning Round Table.”
The Learning Round Table officially changed its name from the Continuing Library Education Network and Exchange Round Table last summer at the ALA annual conference in Chicago.

Help the Learning Round Table Choose a Logo
Feb 5th
Last year we changed our name from CLENE (Continuing Library Education Network and Exchange) to the Learning Round Table. With the name change comes the need for a new logo. Over the past month a team of board members has been working with a graphic designer to create a new logo for the Learning Round Table. We’d like to share the two final logos for your feedback.
Tell us what you think! Which logo best represents the Learning Round Table? What impression do the logos give?
Give us your feedback by adding a comment (or comments) to this post. Let us know which logo you like the best and why. We’ll take comments through Wednesday, February 10, 2010. The final decision will be determined by a vote from the Learning Round Table board members.

Note: Why is there no color? Since a logo may be used in color as well as black and white, a best practice in logo design is to select the logo in black and white first then determine the color scheme. Once we have a decision on the logo the same team will work on choosing the colors.
