Oakton’s
Logo
Concept: Inspirational Growth
The mark derives from the structure of an oak leaf, symbolizing
both education and strength. The logo mark’s upward movement
suggests growth and inspiration. The structure at the leaf’s
crown can be seen as a stylized form of a person, reflecting the
College’s emphasis on the student body and community. The
touching letters in the type also reinforce the sense of togetherness
and how we depend on each other in the community.
