Planning to start a nursery school? You might have already hired a great staff, planned many fun activities, and prepared a great space. One thing you shouldn’t forget, though, is your logo design.
Your nursery logo will serve as your central visual identity — it should tell parents you have a warm and friendly environment while inspiring trust and safety.
In this article, we’ll explore how to create a logo suitable for your nursery with the help of BrandCrowd tools like our logo generator and show you a compilation of charming logo designs that will inspire you.
Effective Logo-Making Tips For Your Nursery
A great logo is simple, memorable, and effectively communicates the identity of your nursery school. Whether you want to make a mascot, a text logo that spells out your nursery name, or use a minimalist line art, make sure to read the tips below first before starting your logo creation:
-
Choose an icon to represent your nursery
Embrace the power of iconography! If you don’t know what it is, it’s the practice of using well-known symbols or images to convey a message instantly.
For instance, icons associated with children and education instantly convey that you are a nursery school. Some examples are building blocks, books, crayons, or toy castles.
Icons can also be used to communicate the values and theme of your nursery. For instance, choose a paintbrush icon or colorful handprints if your nursery focuses on artistic activities.
You can also use more abstract themes. An example is using plant or flower logos to symbolize nurture and growth. Or joined hands to symbolize cooperation and friendship.
-
Use bright and fun colors
Bright colors like yellow, light pink, sky blue, or lime green work best since they give off a happy and approachable vibe. Try pairing these colors with a white background to give contrast and make your logo stand out more.
Orange logos are famous for childcare businesses as orange symbolizes playfulness and youth. You can also experiment with multicolored logo designs (think of the logo of Toys R Us).
-
Pair it with the correct font
With kids and parents as your primary target audience, avoiding stiff and old-school fonts is best. Look for creative and informal fonts to make your nursery more approachable and welcoming. You can also go for handwritten logos for a human and personal touch.
Some options are Good Unicorn, Wonderbar, and Scribblebox. If you want to keep it simple, you can also use fonts like Andika, Bubblegum Sans, and Gill Sans Infant Std, which are less whimsical but still look playful.
-
Keep it balanced
While nursery logos are supposed to look bright and colorful, you don’t want them to look too childish or amateurish. You still want to be seen as professional, someone parents can trust.
The rule is to keep it balanced. Keep the rest simple if you already have a standout element in your design.
For example, keep your typography simple if you’re using a vibrant yellow and orange color palette. If you’re using a playful font, it’s better to pair it with muted pastel colors. And so on.
