Interesting thoughts about the logo - I am more into people - so after reading these three words – Engage, Encourage, Explore - all I see is people!

My vision is of three or more human silhouettes (engage) standing, holding hands (encourage); facing outwards (not each other). The silhouettes on the extreme left and extreme right have their one arm extended upwards (explore).

Too simple or common?

.....Isn't that the point! :-)

I didn't quite get why you need a 'logo', unless it is an exercise in creative collaboration. Anyway, collaboration is about people connecting with people. So I would want a right brained/visual aspect in this. A person in front of another. This brings to mind the notion of the carot sign (^), which represents "to the power of" in Excel. So I would suggest something like "E^3". Here, E^3 could look like a mirror image, if either E or 3 is stylized - providing symmetry, which work in logos. Also, both stylized images could resemble people. Basically a person talking to another across a table (in this case the carot sign)! That's my 2 bits. If it doesn't make any sense, trash it! :-)

I liked the second option. A couple of ideas:
A) We could show a cube (geometrical shape) with the words Encourage, Explore, and Engage written on its 3 visible faces.
B) Instead of writing the letter E as writtin in option 2, we could write it as '<-'with the three words forming the three branches of the arrow shaped E. This could also be infered as convergence and moving in a definite drection.

Hi,
ecube logo options look very intersting. For me it turned out to be puzzle, as all the verbs used start and end with letter 'E'.
We can use letter E as { } with the cube to whole and keep- courg,xplor,and ngage in side the { }.
It just directly maps with the title- ecube...

Just an idea!!!!
