LIKE OUR LOGO? The tellus logo was designed by Vera Schmidt, Fulbright scholar and designer extraordinaire. The bird symbolizes the strength brought to those who engage in thoughtful discourse, affording them the ability to be forward thinking. When not running her own design business, Vera can be found designing the interfaces and display graphics for future models of Mercedes-Benz cars. Pay her a visit at http://very-v.com/about.htm.
