New Logos for 2022

D2L, the creator of D2L Brightspace, has changed its branding. Brightspace is the Learning Management System used by eLearning@UNG (D2L).

D2L provided this explanation of their logo change:

“Our new logo represents the potential and power of learning and our learning technology’s simplicity, accessibility and clarity. The elevated “2” symbolizes an exponent and the idea of exponential advancement and the power of “2” as an enabler. The green signifies growth and vibrancy.”

The Canada-based company has removed the moose mascot from its websites, but it will appear at events and on special occasions.

Visit the D2L website for more details about D2L branding.
