Student Association Logo

The Student Association logo was designed by Public Information Officer Dan Hill and approved for use by the association in 2014.

The logo replaced a diamond logo which had been in place since the 1990s. The five stars on the logo represent the committees of the association as well as the five colleges at SVSU.

Rejected Olive Branch Logo
Originally, Hill designed a logo with a Greek tone and capital S-A letters surrounded by two olive branches, however it was rejected by the association. He then submitted the current version of the logo to the association.

Hill told the association that the olive branch logo had "more of a professional look" for the organization. At the time, some Representatives expressed disappointment with the proposed new logo and the decision to approve it was tabled until the association's next meeting at the suggestion of President Joseph Rexford.

Student Association Representative Gavin Bennett told the association that the rejected logo was "kind of not contained" and suggested that it have a border. A back-and-forth of support and disappointment in the proposed logo then followed throughout discussion on the resolution.

Hill, who was a graphic design minor, said that it's more preferable for logos to be more simple than complex.
