The Falcons School for Girls
This was an unusual brief as I wasn’t required to design a new badge for The Falcons School for Girls, but rather to reimagine their existing one.
The school had a long established crest, but felt it was too stern and serious for their newly opened preschool. As the average age of the children in attendance would be 3, the school felt a friendly update of their existing badge would be a more suitable mascot.
I hand drew the falcon an attempt to make it less harsh and added open eyes and a welcoming expression to complete the child friendly make over.
The eagle (Or falcon) eyed of you out there may have noticed that this bird has no feet. This was not my choice, but the school were insistent that, as the original badge didn’t include the bird’s talons, then this new one shouldn’t either.
As a result, I omitted them from my final design in order to meet their wishes. In hindsight, this was probably a good idea as raptor talons may be a little too scary for three year olds…
