YCIS-BJ 25th Anniversary Logo | 北京耀中25周年校庆 Logo
Next academic year, the Yew Chung International School of Beijing community will celebrate its 25th Anniversary and we are all thrilled to hit this much anticipated momentous milestone. Even though the past few months have been not been the proverbial walk in the park for anyone, we have remained strong and united, which also calls for a celebration. As part of our 25th anniversary preparations, the School has sought the creativity and skills of our Secondary school students to create an anniversary logo for the festivities.
In line with the Yew Chung and Yew Wah focus on embracing community and nurturing students in every area including the arts, our “25th Anniversary Logo Competition” was launched earlier this semester. With the help of Allison Cusato, YCIS-BJ Secondary Art Teacher, who offered everyone a crash course in graphic design, many of our students from Year 7 – 13 accepted the challenge and successfully submitted their entries.
Miss Cusato, who has an established background in design, stated: “I showed the students examples of successful logos throughout history and we talked about why they are successful. Students also had to find 3 of their favorite logos and determine why they are good logos.” The purpose of the exercise was to corroborate her point about what makes a good logo, leading up to the students' own designs.
Allison Cusato, YCIS-BJ Secondary School Art Teacher demonstrates and elaborates on what makes a logo successful.
The design journey began with students submitting their sketches, which was followed by the black and white versions, and finally the colour forms of their logos. All the design logo submissions had to follow the following criterion:
-Communicate the anniversary year, our campus and our common learning goals
-It had to be clean and easy to recognize
Miss Cusato made it clear that “logos should not be complicated or include any small details because they get lost. They should be bold with thick lines and shape.” Below are 5 tips she shared on how to create a successful logo:
-Keep it simple and clean
-Think about how you are communicating the product you are designing for.
-Brainstorm and draw some sketches
-Design it in Black and white first, then turn it into color
-Most importantly, have fun!
The winner for the YCIS Beijing 25th Anniversary Logo Competition will be announced in the forthcoming weeks. We wish all the participants good luck!

下一学年，北京耀中国际学校将迎来25周年校庆。我们都万分期待这个重要的里程碑时刻。尽管过去的几个月对任何人来说都不像是在公园里散步那样自在，我们仍然保持着强大和团结，这也值得庆祝。作为我们25周年校庆筹备工作的一部分，学校已寻求我们中学生的创意和技能，为这一系列庆祝活动设计一个周年纪念LOGO。
为了配合耀中、耀华两校在社区及艺术等各范畴对学生的培育，“25周年LOGO设计大赛”于本学期较早前举行。北京耀中中学美术老师Allison Cusato为每个学生提供了图形设计的速成班。在她的帮助下，我们的许多7 - 13年级的学生接受了挑战，并成功提交了他们的作品。
拥有设计背景的Cusato老师说:“我给学生们展示了过去成功的LOGO案例，我们讨论了它们成功的原因。学生们还必须找到3个他们最喜欢的LOGO，并说出它们为什么是好的LOGO。这个练习的目的是为了证实她的观点，即怎样做才是一个好的LOGO，从而引导学生们设计自己的LOGO。
-表明校庆的年份，我们的校园和我们共同的学习目标
-必须干净，容易辨认
Cusato老师明确表示，“LOGO不应该太复杂，也不应该包含任何小细节，因为它们会丢失。”LOGO应该是由宽线条和形状构成。下面是她分享的5个如何创建成功LOGO的小窍门:
-保持简单和干净
-想想你如何传达你正在设计的产品。
-头脑风暴，画一些草图
-先以黑色和白色设计，然后再填充颜色
-最重要的是，玩得开心!
北京耀中25周年LOGO比赛的获胜者将在接下来的几周内公布。我们祝所有的参与者好运!
