(While Curie certainly stands out in its directness, it is also this bluntness that disqualifies them from proper consideration. :P) I mean, a "P" with pawmarks all around it?Consider then, the Russell or the King logo. Instead of making a direct reference to its namesake, these instead prefer to use symbolism and imagery to convey their meaning and relevance to the usage. The Russell logo, for instance, use a leaf: an image of nature, as well as a return to the wild or to the essentials of the matter. This, perhaps more than anything is what our dear Bertrand was all about: no-nonsense, down-to-earth pragmatism and reason. (Although if I personally were to make a suggestion, I would have referred to the space teapot.) Finally, the King house uses the white dove: a modern symbol of peace, as well as a Biblical reference to the dove that carried the olive branch back to the Ark, so as to lead the way to the land. This dove represents leaders and wayfinders - which truly was what the houses namesake was: a guiding light and a beacon to emancipation and rightfulness.tl;dr: king rules Unfortunately, the Pavlov logo lacks much of the subtlety that marks that of the Social Scientist houses.
