Simplest way is with pen and paper. Being an art student helps.
Or are you asking something else, like what program to use after you have a design?

how do you create school logos

Creating a school logo involves both creative vision and practical execution. Here's a roadmap to get you started:

Conceptualization:

1. Gather Input:
   • Involve stakeholders like school administration, teachers, students, and even parents.
   • Brainstorm ideas that reflect the school's values, mascot (if any), and educational focus.

1. Identify Key Elements:
   • Consider incorporating elements like:
     • School Name: This can be the central focus or integrated subtly.
     • Mascot (optional): A mascot can add personality and memorability.
     • Symbols: Globes, books, owls, or torches can represent knowledge and learning.
     • Colors: Choose colors that resonate with the school spirit and evoke desired emotions (e.g., blue for trust, green for growth).

Design & Development:

1. Choose a Design Style:
   • There are three main logo styles:
     • Wordmark: Uses the school name as the logo (e.g., Harvard).
     • Emblem: A more traditional style with a symbol or crest (e.g., Yale).
     • Combination Mark: Combines a wordmark with a symbol (e.g., Nike).

1. Sketching & Iteration:
   • Sketch your ideas on paper to explore different concepts.
   • Get feedback from stakeholders and refine your design.

1. Digital Tools (Optional):
   • If you're comfortable with design software, you can create your logo digitally.
   • There are also free and paid logo maker tools available online.

Finalization & Use:

1. Finalize the Design:
   • Ensure the logo is clear, legible, and looks good in various sizes and colors.
2. Create a Style Guide:
   • Define how the logo should be used (colors, spacing, minimum size). This ensures consistent branding.
3. Get Feedback & Approval:
   • Present the final logo to stakeholders for final approval.
