What's the Story Behind the Logo? A Link-Up

I'm linking up with Art with Jenny K. for a very unique topic...The story behind the logo.

I really wish that I had a more interesting story to tell.  Bottom line...I love Bill Nye!  I tell my students that he is my hero and my boyfriend (and yes, my husband is well aware of this situation.  Unfortunately, Bill is not.)

I have been the science department head at my school for several years now and one summer during inservice I thought it would be great to get the entire science department to take goofy/nerdy science pictures to hang outside of their classrooms in the hallway.  We blew them up and created poster sized signs with our names and crazy pics.  This logo pic was one of the crazy pictures that was taken that day, but didn't make it to the final poster.  I tried finding some of the pics that were poster-worthy, but this was all I could find.  :(   My co-workers are likely to hunt me down and injure me over this!


I had the privilege of stalking meeting Bill Nye 2 years ago and listening to him speak (totally awesome!)  This really was the only time in my life that I thought I was acting like a total creeper, but luckily my friend knew about my obsession and was willing to do just about anything to help me.  



So, there you have it.  The story behind my logo.

    I love your story--and have a funny science teacher/art teacher story for you! I was teaching art at a middle school in 2006 and for Christmas I got a BUNCH of salt as a "gift" from a teacher. Obviously pretty confuses, I went and talked to the science teachers in my school. I then learned that the parent who gave me the gift had gotten the "wish lists" from the art teacher (me) and science teacher confused... SOOO what do you science teahers do with all that salt??? HAHA! Thanks for linking up, I have always loved your logo and know we know the great story!!!

    Such a fun story. I can't help but sing, "Bill Nye, the science guy!" whenever I hear or read his name. :-) Thanks for sharing! - Lisa
