New Visions for Public Schools Logo

A Logo for New Visions: Reimagining Public Education in New York City

The logo of any organization serves as a visual representation of its mission and values. For New Visions for Public Schools, a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring all New York City public school students, regardless of race or economic class, have access to a quality education, the logo holds particular significance.

While the current three-bar design by Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv evokes growth and dynamism, perhaps it's time to consider a logo that more directly reflects New Visions' innovative approach to public education. Here are some ideas:

• Empowering Hands:  A pair of hands, one representing a teacher and the other a student, could symbolize the collaborative effort between educators and students fostered by New Visions' programs.
• Open Book with Diverse Figures:  An open book with silhouettes of students from different backgrounds could represent the organization's commitment to providing equal access to quality education for all.
• Tree with Branches: A flourishing tree with branches reaching upwards could represent the growth and potential of students nurtured by New Visions' innovative tools and resources.
• City Skyline with Schoolhouse:  A silhouette of the New York City skyline incorporating a schoolhouse could emphasize the organization's focus on improving public education within the city limits.

These are just a few suggestions, and the ideal logo will likely be a combination of these elements or something entirely new. However, it's crucial that the logo reflects the core values of New Visions:

• Equity:  All students, regardless of race or economic class, deserve a quality education.
• Innovation:  New Visions is at the forefront of developing new and effective methods for public education.
• Collaboration:  The organization works with teachers, administrators, and parents to create a better learning environment for all.

By creating a logo that embodies these values, New Visions for Public Schools can continue to be a powerful force for positive change in New York City's public education landscape, ensuring all students have the opportunity to thrive, not just those in charter schools, but in every public school across the city.
