Creating a Scalable Brand Identity for Prince Education
A franchise-ready logo system that represents martial arts, languages, art, and more—not just one program.
Overview
Prince Education offers martial arts, painting, Chinese, English, and French programs for children and families across Greater Vancouver.
As the organization expanded into new locations, it needed a logo for its full program range—not only martial arts.
Franchise-ready brand identity
Challenge
The original black-and-white logo was strongly tied to martial arts. It didn't communicate the academic, creative, and physical programs Prince Education actually offered.
Parents couldn't see the full scope at a glance—and the mark lacked the energy and flexibility needed for multi-location expansion.
- Brand felt narrower than the actual business
- Parents couldn't understand the full program range
- Visual identity lacked expansion-ready flexibility
- Hard to apply consistently across locations and materials
Strategy
We started with interviews, competitor research, and concept testing to learn what parents valued and what would build trust.
The direction centred on three qualities: growth (upward arrow and forward movement), artistry (colour and geometric forms), and passion (energetic orange accents). The letter P anchored the mark to the Prince Education name.
- 1
Growth: upward arrow and forward movement
- 2
Artistry: multiple colours and geometric forms
- 3
Passion: energetic orange accents
- 4
Geometric shapes representing learning areas in one system
Execution
The final logo combined a stylized P, a growth arrow, and geometric elements in blue (trust), orange (passion), and green (development)—with a modern, accessible type system.
We delivered horizontal, stacked, icon-only, full-colour, and black-and-white versions, tested across website, signage, uniforms, brochures, caps, and social media.
- Stylized P logo with growth arrow and geometric elements
