The Clean Energy Fund logo was designed by Colin Arisman '12, who worked for UVM's Student Life Marketing program. The CEF committee reviewed many drafts of Colin's logo designs and decided on the design below in Fall 2011. They wanted to make the connections that relate to the purpose of the fund and connect the concept of renewable energy source to energy use. In addition, they were looking for iconic imagery that relate to Vermont and UVM.

The committee wanted the following elements in the logo: a recognizable renewable energy source, a symbol that harks to Vermont, and emphasize that the CEF is a student initiative.
