VU with the V and dot representing a person with open arms embracing the world perhaps the U with an electronic mouse feature (for clicks) and the Two S (horizontally for the Sea and maybe mountains to represent the Small states)
|
Also as had been mentioned by Alex ( represent the flowing of information and openess of the oceans for access and connectivity. The biggest feature being the inverted C for the Creative commons (copyleft) notations which surround the whole VUSSC open content creations.
What's missing is the linkages (or holding hands as in the three proposed) and the colours of the states.

Colours: the 5 official commonwealth colours. Blue for the crest symbolises water, connectivity and technology as well as innovation and optimism and to reference the many island state members. Purple crest: linkage to COL, has authority, has visual weight and the colours of the global hands are move balanced.
Concept: interlocking hands to symbolise cooperation, the collaboration of the many partner states, and strength in numbers.
Circle: globe, etc. font: I stylised the "SS" slightly to lend focus to the Small States as the important aspect of this initiative. Also the touching of the letters creates "connectivity" and "flow". Option C was another exploration of this. Option B is traditional and straight forward.

At VCILT, we all like the colours and the idea of a circle.
Though, the design looks somehow ambiguous, between shaking hands and snakes biting their tails.
Can we try a proposal, respecting the idea but refining the design.
perhaps knots instead of hands: a strong african symbol.
ring looks like a chain: The Chain is a symbol diametrically opposite to the spirit of Freedom that VUSSC needs to stand for.
the Badge/Shield design is passée.
I really like the idea conveyed by the "circle" in the logo proposal and the utlisation of Commonwealth Colours.
[B] appears to provide a good image as well as concept of collaboration.
One may ask further, cllaboration for what and answer is for knowledge.
Is it possible to put a symbol of knowledge oin the middle of the circle and see how it looks.
[B is] easy on the eyes
prefer B design [over A & C] with font from #C
I like the colours of [B], but prefer the font on [C].
I like the combination of colours in [B]
These look good. I think I favour [B] 'coz stands out more with stronger colour surround.
I like [B] but it doesn't appear to be quite sufficient in itself. The essence of VUSSC is cooperation and collaboration and the ring, which looks like a chain, denotes that essence. It would be useful to add a design which symbolizes joint learning or at least learning, to complete the picture. I don't know how one depicts small states graphically but that, too, would be relevant although not absolutely necessary.
I prefer the purple colour scheme [B] which in my opinion is more outstanding.
