McKinney-Vento Logo Design

Selected logo design by Victoria Torres

Our class was recently approached by the McKinney-Vento department within Stafford County Public Schools for a new logo design.

According to the Stafford County Public Schools website:

The Federal McKinney-Vento Act guarantees school enrollment for anyone who, due to a lack of permanent housing, lives in inadequate or temporary setting such as:

Emergency shelters or transitional housing
Motels, hotels, or campgrounds due to lack of an adequate alternative
Cars, parks, public places, bus or train stations, or abandoned buildings
Doubled up with relatives or friends due to loss of housing or economic hardship

This was an excellent learning opportunity for my Design & Multimedia students. They were able to gain real-world experience working with a client. The client visited our classroom and gave a presentation on McKinney-Vento while also expressing what she was looking for in the new logo. Students filled out creative briefs, brainstormed together, and developed a wide range of brilliant designs. The client was thrilled with all the options we provided.
