HELLOMETHOD FOR CHAPPAQUA FRIENDS NURSERY SCHOOL

SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
It made me go "awww" out loud when looking at this school logo. It invokes memories of Disney and educating my child in a caring and loving environment.
Very creative, well designed logo that is spot-on appropriate for a nursery school. While it is a complex logo, it forms a story. Also provides many individual graphics that can be used individually.
Beautiful design. Nicely balanced with image and lettering. Color is great. Communicates "nursery school" through imagery. Lettering is nicely designed and readable. Love this!

Simplicity goes a long way here. Clean, readable, and honors the past while refreshing the look and feel of the new mark. Would translate well in multiple applications, sizes, etc.
Category No. 19: Capital Campaign Logo
CHAPEL HILL-CHAUNCY HALL
Waltham, MA • Grades 9-12, Coed Boarding and Day
SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
I think having many versions of the logo is such the way to go; it allows you to branch it out via print, web and social without distorting the logo to fit a certain size or space. Visually appealing and the use of color was just enough. It was clear and neat.

SAMPLE JUDGES' COMMENTS
Love the contrast of colors. Easy to isolate various elements of the logo. Bold and eye-catching!
Great mascot logo. Better then many collegiate logos/mascots.
Strikingly powerful yet elegant design. Love the priority on the broad wingspan containing the wonderful execution of typography. Very well done, contemporary with a sense of long-standing tradition.
Very detailed and fierce owl. I enjoy the use of the school colors and like how they have both the name and owl together or standalone (important when dealing with the athletic department).

Beautiful and clean design. The updated Griffin is a smart update.
A nice design that works well on many levels.
I love the new griffin. It feels very refreshed, simple, and modern while maintaining the integrity of the school's mascot.
