School Crest Design Ireland — Custom Crests for Schools, Clubs & Colleges
Custom School Crest, Badge & Prospectus Design in Ireland
A School Crest Design to represent the School's values.
A school crest is a unique heraldic emblem that represents a school’s identity, values and heritage — typically displayed on uniforms, stationery, signage and digital communications. Design West creates custom school crests for primary schools, secondary schools and third-level colleges across Ireland, working with each institution to develop a symbol that reflects their ethos and stands the test of time.
School crest designs can reflect the history and mottos of schools. Each crest design can show a sense of history using lots of colours, symbols and classical references. Another considered aspect is the importance of being part of the local community. The history and development of the local community can be an important part of the schools history.
Like all schools, it is a time in a student’s life and community that they will remember for the rest of their lives. As a result, it is critical to get this logo just perfect. Our school crest design in Ireland services, offered by designwest , are already in use in a large number of schools, so you can be certain that our quality exceeds our clients’ expectations.
Modern Updates for Historic School Crest Designs
Our skilled designers provide high-quality digitization services. We go above and beyond excellence to breathe fresh life into an old school brand. One example below, the Threen National School crest, shows the old logo, drawn by a student at the school. We were commissioned to digitize this crest for use on their website and social media. Digitizing the old school crest can be used in embroidery. Our school crests are professionally developed, and we work closely with our customers to rapidly and properly duplicate their unique designs.
Below are some examples of high-quality School crest Ireland designs we’ve created for past clients.
School Crest Design Examples
This logo was designed by the talented team at Designwest for Scoil Bhríde Tír na Cille An Mam. The designers thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the school to create a distinctive and meaningful identity. As an all-age, co-educational school that teaches through the Irish language, these elements were thoughtfully incorporated into the design.The final result is a custom, one-of-a-kind, modern logo with a vibrant and lively feel. The symbols featured in the design—football, music notes, and drama—represent the school’s core values and key activities, capturing its dynamic and creative spirit while reflecting a high standard of school crest design Dublin expertise.
This school crest design is for Threen National School. This was digitised from the original crest, which is seen in the photographs. The original crest was hand-drawn and provided a beautiful depiction of everything the school has to offer its pupils.
We also made a 4ft by 4ft sign for Threen National School in Castlerea, Co Roscommon. If you are looking for a similar sign, Signwest provide excellence signage services.
St. Joseph’s Secondary School is a voluntary Catholic all-girls second-level school run by the Ceist. We were delighted to work with in updating their previous school crest. Along with updating their School Crest we designed their new School Prospectus. The new logo helped to create the new prospectus which used the crest colours throughout, and was benefited by the professional photographs of the school.
Shown in the images here, the old logo with the newly designed and updated one. The new logo is a modern progression for the school while holding onto the original symbols. It gives a cleaner and upadted brand for the school.
