My children were students at PS 261 when the administration reached out to me to create a new identity for the school. 

What I Did
I was inspired by the PS 261 students - their energy and creativity - and the diversity of backgrounds and cultures represented at the school. I also wanted to capture the spirit of Brooklyn - it's got an energy unlike anywhere else - it's dense and urban, but it's also intimate and friendly. The name of the school becomes part of the urban Brooklyn landscape. I also created an accompanying logo for the After School program.

The school principal said that as long as she's at the school, this will be the logo.
