Role

Designer

The current brand of public education, while an essential public good, also embodies a certain conformity, sluggishness, and one-size-fits-all
approach. A new independent alternative, Lark Skola, needed a unified brand story, a visual language to match, and a distinctive mark that would give families a sense that Lark Skola is no ordinary learning environment.

By developing the school's strategic mission and value system first, the mark and future design collateral could be formed around the these value pillars and the exceptional possibilities of learning on the move.

A couple rounds of visual feedback saw the Lark team settle on a  geometric tile or mosaic concept. Explorations tried to capture the value proposition of the school: the many environments and emphases where learning takes place.

In helping the Lark team sculpt their core values into comprehensive statements of mission, purpose, and positioning, the school and its unique pedagogy gestured toward the inter-locking but independent segments of the holistic symbol.
