A Good School Logo: Does It Make A Difference?
Friday, March 5th, 2010Why is it that there are so many schools, colleges and universities that just have really bad logos?. You see the logo all of the time and although it could be the best school in your area the logo will just get on your nerves. So why are school logos so important, would it stop you from taking your child to the school or are they all just a load of old nonsense?
Well a good logo design just shows off the first impressions of the school, if you are interested in taking one of your children to the school then the first thing that you actually look at the logo. Many parents will not know that the first thing that they will see when looking into a school is the logo, this can be very important for first impressions. Although for most people it really doesn’t matter what the logo looks like it could be an early sign that the school really isn’t that great.
One of the best logos I have seen in a school is equally one that not many people would say they liked. They asked a lot of the kids to get together for a combined art class and basically got them drawing designs for logos. Although the logo wasn’t of the best design in the world it actually shows the parents that the school cares for the kids and that it is their school. All they needed was a professional just to come in and finish the job. I really think that more schools should take on this method as it ends up saving them a bit of budget.
So the next time you are looking to take your child to their next school, try not to pay too much notice to the logo, although the school will have fancy business logos you need to go inside the school and meet all of the teachers before you know for sure if it is just the logo that is poor or the entire school itself.
