The Story Behind the MSAA Logo
“Art is not just one thing. It’s billions.”
Victoria B., Medford Public School student
The Medford School Arts Alliance’s logo was designed by Victoria, winner of the MSAA’s student logo contest. We received dozens of entries from students across Medford, with impressive levels of creativity, thoughtfulness, and visual effectiveness; it was difficult to narrow it down! Five finalists were displayed at the MSAA’s November kickoff event, where guests voted for the winning logo.
With imagery representing music, theater, and visual arts, Victoria’s design reflects the diversity of arts programs in our schools, aligning with MSAA’s mission to support these programs.
The final version of the logo was drawn by graphic designer and Medford parent Katherine
Thorne, staying close to Victoria’s original artwork while allowing for easier resizing and printing.
