Logo Brainstorming Session



The "logo" team. Mark, well known for his drawing skills, Rina, the only real artist in the group, Nathan, consultant brought in to temper our enthusiasm since not everything is easy to stitch up on fabric and Nat the photographer.







You may have heard of the Bermuda Triangle. This is Mark's triangle. Next to the second ELISE LOGO on the hand-drawned page, Mark drew what he called a "triangle". This is the most interesting triangle in the history of geometry. It is in fact, the only triangle that has FOUR sides...

We now have a couple of questions for Mark. Assuming that the size of the sides, starting from the little one and turning clockwise are called, a, b, c and d, what would be the formula to calculate:
- The perimeter of this triangle
- The area of this triangle


























The point of this session was not to meet, have coffee and make fun of Mark, although all of this was definitely much appreciated, but to find a logo for the Elise race program. This logo would then be printed on:
- Caps (provided)
- T-shirts (provided)
- Banner (provided, for the forestay...)
- Hull
and potentially other items such as a light windjacket, etc...

We now have a shortlist of 3 or 4 ideas which Rina will clean up (given Mark's drawing skills) so we can circulate among the team to get everyone's opinion. Remember, the idea is for you to wear this gear, so pick a logo that you will be proud of! If you prefer to leave the name as is (as the logo), you can also vote for this option of course.
