The Ponds School supports students with moderate or severe intellectual disabilities providing quality, individualised and meaningful education in a safe and caring environment. The Ponds School offers learning opportunities through the inclusion of state of the art technology, a hydrotherapy pool and specialised playground equipment for students K-12.
We were asked to create an identity and brand for The Ponds School that was fundamentally positive, soothing, modern and inclusive. The logo had to portray a frog climbing, representative of students' developmental transition through the school.
We love this piece as part of our graphic design portfolio because we had a really fun and collaborative design process with the entire school coming onboard for the planning and decision-making.
Frankie the Frog - Mascot
Three frog illustrations were created to help facilitate and support The Ponds School's many learning programmes.
'Frankie the Frog' is a friendly, charismatic and engaging character whom the students respond positively towards. He is a well-loved feature throughout the school appearing on large murals, banners, signage and student materials.
