The logo of edX, the online learning platform, features its name on a dark blue-green background. The background consists of two offset, slanted quadrilaterals that overlap, with one positioned above and to the left and the other below and to the right. The white e and d have thin, rounded strokes, while the large X stands out through its broader diagonals. The slant of the lettering follows the angled edges of the background. The blue-green Elm version is used on light backgrounds, while dark backgrounds call for a white silhouette with transparent letters through which the background remains visible. A black version is provided for monochrome materials. The brand name retains two lowercase letters and an uppercase X.
edX is an educational platform from the United States, founded in 2012 on the initiative of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It brings together online courses from universities and companies, professional training programmes and study leading to academic qualifications. Learners can study individual subjects, take course sequences and pursue MicroMasters and MicroBachelors programmes. Some courses offer free access for auditing, while graded assignments and certificates are part of the paid option. This approach allows learners to start with a single subject before choosing a longer programme.
