CCNS Logo
The Community Cooperative Nursery School (CCNS) is a parent-run cooperative preschool that has been part of the community for over 30 years. With a mission rooted in teaching about nature, outdoor play, and early education for children aged 2-4, the school sought a visual identity to reflect its values and legacy.
The Challenge
Despite its long-standing presence, CCNS had never had a formal logo to represent its mission. The challenge was to design an eye-catching logo that would embody the school’s focus on outdoor play, connection to nature, and the cooperative spirit while appealing to both children and parents.
The Solution
I created playful, custom letterforms that brought CCNS’s mission to life:
- The first “C” became a pencil, symbolizing early education.
- The second “C” transformed into a flower, representing the school’s deep connection to nature.
- The “N” was designed as a slide, evoking play and exploration.
- The “S” became a caterpillar, a nod to curiosity and discovery.
To reinforce the preschool’s nature-focused values, I chose a vibrant green, yellow, and red color palette. The playful yet clear letterforms ensured the logo would resonate with children while maintaining a professional appeal for parents and educators.
The Outcome
The final logo is a joyful and memorable representation of CCNS’s mission. It celebrates the school’s legacy while providing a modern, cohesive identity to connect with new families. The design reflects the preschool’s commitment to learning, play, and nature, creating a lasting impression for the community it serves.
