Our initiative logo is complete and designed leveraging the Generative AI tool MidJourney, which is a text to image generator. The logo symbolises what Innovation for ASD is all about:
1. The puzzle piece is a common object that reflects the neuro-typical and unique mindset and attributes our Makers have.
2. The circular connection of different sized puzzle pieces represents the journey our Makers follow in bringing uncertainty, to clarity through adopting a process that helps guide each Maker on their path to solving problems.
3. The smaller interconnecting pieces remind us that in the process of achieving something, there are simple steps, sometime known, sometimes needing to be learned. Likewise the larger pieces represent the challenging moments, where we need to spend lots of energy in focusing to learn and acquire the additional skills, knowledge and experience to move to the next step in life.
4. The overall design is reminiscent of a cog, which typically helps mesh mechanical systems together providing synchronisation and as output, progress of energy as part of a larger system of systems. The cog is often associated with Innovation due to this reason.
