I was asked to design the logo and promotional materials for St. Michael’s Play Garden, a preschool in Cebu City. It aims to provide child-centered, developmentally-appropriate, healing education in line with the Waldorf educational philosophy. The play garden is a home-like environment that enables children to play outdoors and learn how to care for nature through gardening activities. They also offer Play “CAMPS” (Crafts, Arts, Music, Play, Stories), a series
of workshops designed to let children have fun while learning.
The logo features a leaf shaped like a flame. The leaf represents nature, which provides inspiration and stimulates creativity. Fire provides enlightenment, warmth, and guidance. The flame can also be seen as a visual metaphor for a vulnerable child which the school aims to nurture and protect. A slab serif typeface expresses trustworthiness and reliability.
