The NMAT logo has a long history to it. Back when I was in college, long before I became a tutor, I was fascinated with the art of M.C. Escher. Like most college kids looking for something to do other than their homework, I started doodling some mathematical art. Well, it wasn't doodling as much as it was angles, geometry and symmetry. One drawing of mine struck my liking and I put it up on display. It got a number of compliments and I was accused of copying and even once mistaken for a work of Escher's himself.

Fast forward about 12 years later. I happened across my original drawing while organizing my files. At first, it brought back some nice memories of my days as a Commodore. Then it came to me: this would make a perfect logo for Newport Math and Tutor. It's a mathematically impossible image that could not exist in the real world. What better a symbol of what I do: I work with what my students would call the impossible (their math homework) and help them develop solutions that they didn't think were possible.
