The new identity for Greenpoint's PS 31 comes on the heels of the institution's recognition as one of the top elementory schools in New York State.
The challenge was to express the new brand in a more contemporary way, while remaining close to the root of its academic success, it's traditional education. Explorations focused on the distinct neo-baroque facade of the school building as a source of inspiration, in particular the engraved type above the entrance. The solution came through marrying the traditional engraved letterforms with a more modern expression, allowing the intertwining lines express the joy and energy of the faculty and student body.
