Hear from Stuart Pagaduan, the artist behind the Cowichan Valley School District logo.

Logos

There are several sizes for logo files. For very small uses, you can use the SMALL size logo. This would be appropriate for uses that are no smaller than 0.5″ and no larger than 1″. MEDIUM sized logos will be your most common and are appropriate for uses 2″-3″ in size. For larger uses, the LARGE file type would be best. That size will be appropriate for uses of 10″ – 14″. If you require this logo for a larger size than that, please contact communications.

Other Variations

There will be times when the official logo does not work for your intended use. For that reason, we have developed several variations to assist you in creating compelling documents with our logo.

The primary logo for the Cowichan Valley School District is the logo with the full color sun and black canoe and paddlers, and in the square (or portrait) orientation. We do know that this version will not work for every application, nor will it show up best in all uses. For that reason we have designed the logo to have two orientations, portrait and landscape (as below).

Portrait

Landscape

When the gradient cannot be replicated in items like small silk screening or embroidery, the two-color logo can be used in place of the full-color gradient logo.

Portrait

Landscape

This will be your best option for any use where the printing or reproduction will be done without color. If you are printing in black and white, use this logo.

Landscape

The white and full color sun logo will be best used on items that have a dark background. Printing, embroidering, silk screening, etc, on a dark background color and when you want the full color of our logo.
