The Lifelong Kindergarten logoís simplicity evokes the groupís orientation to children of the future. The shapes are reminiscent of the manipulatives used with kindergarteners for centuries, yet the dimension of the yellow sphere updates this symbol. The transparency of the sphere also indicates the groupís notion that the objects we use should not be opaque and out of reach of a personís understanding, but that one should be able to build and know at a root level. Lastly, the shapes overlap to create the "L" and "K" of the groupís name.
