I'm designing a logo which is somehow related to Talent. What symbols or colors can (or are good to) represent Talent?

By talent, I mean a natural ability to do something well. I already have something like a bean in my mind and I saw star, medals and young boys/girls symbols. I just want to know other symbols.

  • Well the chinese sorted this a while ago. They have a pictogram for talent use that. Anyway if you think chineese is complicated youve hit the catch 13. Making a pictogram or horror a logogram for everything is a bit convoluted. Personally i like the way mayans solved this.

The greek goddess Athena, because she was born from Zeus's forehead – fully grown and armored.

  • Do you have anything to support this idea?

    This seems not only culturally dependant, but also associative thinking taken a little too far. If I actually managed to identify Athena in a tiny symbol (which is wildly unlikely), her scope is immense. She is the goddess of: wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill.

  • Why the downvote? This a subjective question.

  • The downvote is likely because someone disagrees with your answer. It is indeed a subjective question, but users have the ability to judge whether or not your suggestion would be a good solution.

  • Thanks, but as @RandomO'Reilly said, I think it's culturally dependant.

A quick google search on talent, returns light-bulb metaphors on their own or placed inside a silhouette of the human head. I haven't suggested a graduation cap in case it singled out users w/o further education qualifications.

However I think you wouldn't go far wrong if you used a star. Like Britain's got talent or more iconic, the Hollywood Stars.

  • Thanks for your answer. I think light-bulb would be more related to mind and ideas rather than talent. Actually I wanted to use a star, but I think that's been used too much. :)
