Ambassador Classical Academy Logo

I created a logo design for a friend who is starting a school, Ambassador Classical Academy. It's a Christian school focused on knowledge, developing the children and their leadership, and a mindfulness of representing the Kingdom of Heaven.

A combination of symbolic images—flame, leaf, crown, and cross at the center—came together to form a whole, the torch. In a broad sense, the torch depicts passing it on and lighting the way.

For the word mark, a nice serif typeface is used with some custom tweaks. An "a" occurs in every word, so I customized them to open up where the bowl connects to the stem and curled it more to mimic the curve in the flame—thus helping unite the symbol to the words.
