Celebrating 21 Years of Excellence
For over two decades, NASET has been the trusted resource for special education professionals, building a comprehensive library of training materials, certifications, and community support that has shaped countless careers and improved outcomes for students with special needs. Throughout our 21-year journey, we’ve listened carefully to our community of educators, and one message came through loud and clear: it was time for a visual refresh that better reflects the vibrant, diverse, and dynamic nature of special education.
We’re thrilled to introduce our new look – a thoughtful evolution that honors our legacy while embracing a more colorful, user-friendly design that truly represents the special education community we serve. This rebrand isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a more welcoming, accessible experience that mirrors the inclusive values at the heart of special education.
Primary Logo
A raised hand is a symbol of activity, involvement, a desire to help or communicate something. The multi-colored fingers emphasize the inclusivity and diversity of the children the teacher works with.
The logo also has at its core the letter “n”, which is the first letter of the organization’s name.
Our versatile logo system includes color variations across our brand palette – appearing in Trust blue, Support green, and Empathy pink – allowing us to maintain brand consistency while adapting to different contexts and applications. Each variation maintains the same powerful symbolism while offering flexibility for various communication needs.
A Palette That Speaks to Educators
Our refreshed color scheme thoughtfully combines meaningful hues that reflect the core values and daily experiences of special education professionals. These aren’t just colors – they’re carefully chosen elements that create a welcoming environment while honoring the essential qualities that define our community.
The brand colors are chosen to create a pleasant and familiar environment for teachers. They emphasize the things and feelings that professionals encounter when working with children.
Trust (Blue) forms the foundation of everything we do – representing the reliability and confidence that educators need from their professional development resources and the trust they build with students and families every day.
Support (Light Green) and Support+ (Dark Green) symbolize the nurturing growth environment that special education professionals create, emphasizing both the gentle guidance and deeper advocacy that defines this field.
Empathy (Light Pink) and Empathy+ (Dark Pink) capture the compassionate heart of special education work – the understanding, patience, and emotional connection that professionals bring to every interaction.
Ink (Dark Gray) provides the professional foundation for communication and documentation, while Paper (Off-White) offers the clean, accessible backdrop that makes information clear and approachable.
Together, these colors create a balanced palette that feels both modern and timeless, reflecting the professional excellence and heartfelt dedication that characterizes the special education community.
This visual transformation represents more than just a new look – it’s our commitment to continuously evolving to better serve the special education community while staying true to the expertise and reliability you’ve trusted for over two decades.
