Evolution of a Logo

During the 24-25 winter term, art student's in Ms. Ho's graphic design class where given a final project for the history books: designing a logo to represent the 50th anniversary of coeducation at Groton School. All four students in the class created designs which represented what
coeducation meant to them. Daniel Velazqez '25's logo was selected. The logo design was then refined by a professional design firm, and a visual identity was developed by John Donovan '20.
