Institution
Caseer Institution is a logo created for the Center for Advanced School Education and Evidence-based Research at the University of Tokyo. The center studies teaching practice, education content and school development policy, and works to solve practical problems in schools. The logo is based on a symbol of expansion. The form refers to the ginkgo leaf, a shared emblem of the University of Tokyo and its affiliated schools. The outward spread of the leaf also stands for the growth of understanding, perspective and curiosity gained through education and research.
