Autism logos: research & design

Before we launched our new website on August 8, 2018,[1]The new website is live! | Embrace ASD we did market research in autism organizations and their logos.

Research document

With that research, we informed ourselves about the use of colors and symbols, and made ourselves more conscious about which elements to avoid, and which elements to incorporate into our logo and brand.

In the PDF below, you can see some of our research, how it informed our design decisions, and part of the logo design process.

Land acknowledgement

Embrace Autism recognizes and acknowledges the traditional lands of the Indigenous peoples across Ontario. From the lands of the Anishinaabe to the Attawandaron and Haudenosaunee, these lands surrounding the Great Lakes are steeped in First Nations history.

We are in solidarity with Indigenous brothers and sisters to honour and respect Mother Earth. We acknowledge and give gratitude for the wisdom of the Grandfathers and the four winds that carry the spirits of our ancestors that walked this land before us.

Embrace Autism is located on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We acknowledge and thank the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation—the Treaty holders—for being stewards of this traditional territory.
