8th Grade Design students at Whitby School kicked off the year with a unit that is giving them hands-on understanding of how a design firm handles client requests. Under the guidance of Upper School Design Teacher, Mr. Lohmeyer, the students have taken on their very first client — Whitby School's marketing department — to develop the rules, guidelines and judging criteria for our 60th anniversary logo contest.
 
The winning entry of this contest will become the official logo of Whitby's 60th Anniversary Celebration in 2018!
Whitby School is looking for an eye catching logo design 
for the school's 60th Anniversary! We are seeking current Whitby students to design an innovative, creative, and professional looking design. This design will be the cornerstone of this celebration and will help promote this special year in Whitby history. The winning logo will be used in all promotional materials, inside and outside of Whitby School.

A panel of student/teacher judges will narrow the selection down to four finalists, one from each "color" team in the school. These finalists will be brought to a Facebook poll, where the public will decide which logo best represents the 60th celebration.

The winning entry will be the official logo of Whitby School's yearlong 60th celebration!

Judging Rubric

Based on the same 8 point scale that is used for their own MYP Assessments, our 8th grade students shared their own ideas on how to assess the logo entries.
