It’s only been 100 years since the first woman won the Nobel Prize for Science, 60 since the election of the first female Prime Minister, 10 since a woman became Speaker of the House.
As it turns out: things for women, and for everyone, do change. So why does the field of technology still feel like the same old boy’s club?
In the US, women fill a scant 26% of all computing jobs - a number that’s only getting worse - with the rest of the world coming up similarly short. Well, we —a network of the best and brightest entrepreneurs, coaches and mentors from around the globe — we’d like to makea little change of our own.
We’d like to impart our skills on to a new generation to help create a worldwide web of tech-savvy, knowledge-hungry girls willing to learn, socialize, and create something to change the world, their world.
It’s time to make it girls for a change.
Girls fora change.

The meaning of a brand extends far past the simple concepts of words and logos. A brand encompasses a philosophical approach to the way a company not only expresses itself, but the story it weaves, and the unique voice with which that story is told.
The voice of Technovation is an essential aspect in helping people to both recognize and remember our brand. It is the foundational element for the building of our personality and the supporting aspect for everything else in our system.
Creating, and then expressing ourselves in a consistent tone will allow a better understanding who we are and what we do.

Logo: Pathway
A confident, bold stylized ‘T’ symbolizes the paths that entwine on the Technovation journey. It is inspired by three individual paths (girl, mentor and sponsor) linking together. The ‘T’ is placed inside a sphere to emphasize the path and give it a sense of solidity and wholeness.
Iridescent is incorporated into the new logo to tie Technovation more tightly to its parent organization. Technovation is a program of Iridescent and so in all channels where a logo is needed, this new incorporated logo treatment should be used.
In anticipation of the full scope of applications for the logo, we’ve provided three alternative configurations. For example, the simple Roundel & T mark could possibly be applied on the edge of a photograph of a marketing collateral piece.

On white and light gray backgrounds, the logotype is black. On black or dark grey backgrounds, the logotype is white.

Regardless of use, there is a minimum amount of space the logo requires when positioning with or without design elements. This space or margin is based on one half of the large circle in the symbol. All margins on both the vertical and horizontal logos are equal to one half of the large circle. This margin must be maintained between the logo and the edge of a page, package, or color field. In general, typography, design elements, or other logos should not be positioned within the clear space.

Please use these neutrals as supporting colors in the design or document. Supporting shades aid the designs to subtly convey depth in the color palette, similarly in the logo. The support neutrals work well for body copy.
Supporting accent colors should only be used minimally, in call to action statements or buttons, and in bringing attention to the brand messaging. See the sample design as an example of this.

Pattern
Pattern is another way to infuse dimensionality and life to the system. Patterns help convey different feelings depending on palette and direction. They also enhance the design and brand messaging depending on the use case. These can be used in a variety of ways. In print, these patterns reinforce our colorful, fun, bold and energetic look and feel. When used online, they provide the opportunity for motion. Please use these patterns and brand elements sparingly, as to not overwhelm the new brand identity. Only use the patterns over their specific brand color. Do not rotate the patterns, or scale them dramatically.
