Bespoke School Branding
High quality school branding is looked upon favourably by Ofsted and shows a professional approach to learning. In today’s highly competitive environment, it is becoming increasingly crucial for your schools’ identity to stand out. Effective school branding is what makes your particular school unique and memorable to prospective parents, students, and staff.
At Design Office, we have many years’ experience in branding schools. Our creative strategy is to begin with a strong identity; your school’s logo. That is then rolled out across all platforms from school signage to websites and from prospectuses to school books. When creating a brand, we love to get teachers, pupils and parents involved, often holding focus groups and brainstorming sessions. The sessions help to derive a key direction for the branding which then allows us to create something that everybody loves!
Each identity we create is as individual as the school we work with. By investing time, care and the best creative talent, we create tailored school branding and designs that are not only powerful, refined and functional but also reflective of the personality of the school and everyone in it!
We ensure your branding represents you and perfectly reflects your schools’ values and ethos. By focusing on this, we also prioritise the teachers’ and pupils’ ethics and aspirations for not only the school – but themselves.
School & Multi-Academy Trusts
When working with schools and multi-academy trusts, we want to build a relationship that lasts. Over the past 30 years, we have built up our strong portfolio with over 100 schools and trusts across the UK. We are highly rated nationally for our school branding services and are widely known to provide prospectuses, books & planners, and stationery to schools wanting to build their visibility and expand their ambitions – keeping cohesion throughout the school.
Our aim is to dive deep into your strengths and challenges, we strategically break down your goals, focuses and principles. As a united team, we create a professional branding strategy for your school to provide you with more than just the outcome you desire. We work closely with you and provide exceptional service, updating you each step of the way and making any amendments you desire to present a flawless finished design to you – whether that’s logo design or promotional branding.
Signage
Our expertise isn’t confined to a certain sector; we have travelled all over the UK designing and installing custom school signage solutions for schools – whether they are starting up or want to freshen up their existing branding. Having a strong visual identity is important for schools, not only to be used as wayfinding around the building or used for resources – but to declare your school’s presence and distinct branding.
Like the rest of our services, we provide an in person detailed consultation discussing your initial ideas, colours, designs and slogans. Our lead designer, with over 15 years of experience, works across all sectors and specialises in educational branding and school signage design – they will work with you closely to ensure your signage design showcases your individuality as a school.

We tailor every product with your school’s logo, colours, and unique design elements to create cohesive, professional resources that support both academic goals and pastoral care. Our custom school books can feature personalised internal rulings and covers, while our planners help students and staff stay structured and motivated throughout the year.
