Website Design
The Helen Foundation's website was designed and created by James Ryder, a close University friend of Alex Kirk who currently works as a professional freelance web designer. Many many thanks to James for all his patience and hard work in helping us put this site together. It is much appreciated.
Logo Design
The official logo for The Helen Foundation was designed and created by Daniel Saint, a keen supporter of arts within the Teignbridge area, who is now working as a professional graphical designer.
The thinking behind the logo itself is ‘bubbles’ and how the bursting of a bubble is a release, be it a physical release or a mental release, and the 'star' is to signify both the success that we all seek and also is reflective of the spark of a thought. Also reflective in the logo device is the growth of the ideas and thoughts with the increasing sizes of the bubbles contained within it indicating that growth, and the idea bursting into a star of success.
Many thanks also go to Daniel for his hard work and dedication in designing the glass plaque Helen Foundation Awards. These Awards, now in over half of Teignbridge schools, are awarded annually to the young person showing "Best Endeavour in the Arts" within the organization. For more information on these Awards please check out the "apply" section of the site
