Logo Creation Tips

1. The Eleva-Strum official colors are red and white.
2. Cardinal Logos should be easily combined with different symbols from sports, music, and different school clubs.   
3. Logos should be recognizable as uniquely Eleva-Strum.  Logos that closely resemble or are identical to other school or business logos may not be chosen.
4. The E-S logo should be able to stand on its own, but also be interchangeable with different backgrounds or with the school cardinal as a background. 
5. Logo entries should include color, but also be effective without color if necessary.
6. Logos should be simple, not too busy, and easily transferred to school clothing, letterhead, decals, and more.
7. Logos should be scalable to small or large sizes.
8. See our school website for logo samples from other schools.
