Logo Design Brief

We need a high resolution logo for a new middle school opening in Washington, D.C. The name of the school is KIPP DC: Northeast Academy. This school serves low income, at risk youth in some of Washington D.C.'s lowest performing neighborhoods. We belong to a network of 12 other schools in Washington (www.kippdc.org). Our final design should communicate our commitment to our students, our community and our culture. At Northeast Academy, we value Innovation, Excellence, Grit and Pride. The foundation of our school is built on fantastic literacy instruction, regular access and use of new media education learning tools/blended learning and a commitment that each of our students will attend a 4 year college.

Our Vision Statement:
KIPP DC Northeast Academy teaches students to be innovative leaders and learners who are successful in high school and college. We read, write, solve, question and challenge ideas and are always proud of ourselves and our families. We are a community of learners who celebrate our history, our culture, and every member of our team and family.

Updates

Hi Team!
So many thanks for your submissions so far.  I've included a few general thoughts and ideas to keep the design process moving along.

1. Learn more about our larger organization and its mission by watching this YouTube video.  We want our logo to reflect the values and mission of our larger organization also.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVi07IxmVkg

2. The designs so far have included very abstract symbols, shapes, and pictures.  Try to include a component in the logo that children and young people might recognize.  A tree, a compass, a map, a footprint, or something with a twist that could be tied to our mission/vision/values!  

3.  Our name represents the location of our school and community in DC's Northeast neighborhood.  I'd be curious to see a mockup or two of a logo including our DC map.  I love the work so far of people who've included the NE directional marker in their logo.

Hi Design Team,

One additional update. Our school and name represent collegiality and nothing more clearly illustrates this than the classic school crest emblem.  Does anyone have a great example of a crest within our branding constraints? 

We'd ultimately like a logo that can be clearly replicated on shirts, envelopes, signs and etc. in b/w or color.

Many thanks!
