Trees are usually symbolic of knowledge, acorns as youth/children (and, 
I suppose, the potential to grow into knowledge... so the seed of 
knowledge metaphor is pretty apt.)

Dandelions are flowers usually associated with children (that I've seen, 
anyway - kids will appreciate them a lot more than adults usually do). 
They're hardy little buggers, sprouting just about everywhere - and 
dandelion heads, when you blow on them, explode outwards from a central 
source (exploring with Sugar?) to go "fwooosh!" and thousands of seeds 
go sailing out across the world. That's if you're being super-symbolic. 
I also just happen to like dandelions. I spent many summer afternoons as 
a tiny kid running through the drainage ditch by my house, blowing 
dandelion seeds, to the horror of pretty much every gardener in the 
neighborhood. They're like guerrilla flowers.

All these logos would obviously need to be redrawn and recolored by 
someone with more artistic talent than I have. ;) I purposefully kept 
them simple/outline+fill so that we could recolor them as needed.
