By that they mean no preservatives, no weed killers, etc. The guy who took a look at all of the ones we did had NO concept of logo design. I didn't expect him to, but goddamn. His favorite one was some horribly outdated looking rendition of a tree, and instead of a trunk, it was a person. He looked at mine, which is a pencil with corn leaves growing off of it (food + education), and said that if it was standalone you wouldn't know what it was for. Yes, because a tree with a person beneath it screams food education and everything they stand for. Before I left class I looked back and saw her put an academic cap on the person's head, and a heart in the middle of their chest. Why? Because she is a shit designer. I also intend on putting my logo inside of a simple diamond, because my college's logo is in the shape of a diamond. I will combine food, education, and my college's logo into one. I bet he'll pick some logo with a flower in it and a hand holding a sun, with the title of the project set in Comic Sans.
