The KUMON logo:

A good logo should pretty much speak for itself. This one succeeds.

(Background: My nieces are visiting, and they do KUMON; that is the face they make when their parents announce that it's time for KUMON.)

You need an AOPS logo, but with a smiley instead of the O.

Yeah A :) PS is a great idea for the logo. Of course you wouldn't use the exact thing I did cause that would be a lame logo.

Reminds me of my reactions to Kumon. When I should have been doing pre-algebra, they had me doing timed arithmetic drills. Fortunately for me, my parents pulled me out after a few months, and I got the math I needed elsewhere.

Oh god that is such a true statement. In fact my brother's doing some write now with the :| face. When I used to do kumon we would often took about how stupid it was that the smiley face in the kumon logo wasn't even smiling and then conclude, "At least it's accurate!"

Just ran across this description of Kumon that explains your nieces' reaction -- and includes a nice "kitchen counter" math lesson:
