DaVinci Academy: Where STEM Meets School Spirit
DaVinci Academy Dragons
Ogden, UT | K-8 STEM Charter School | 750 Students
DaVinci Academy needed a mascot that would bridge their rigorous STEM curriculum with traditional school spirit. We created a dragon that’s both mythical and modern – incorporating geometric patterns that reference their mathematical focus while maintaining the fierce pride that drives athletic competition. The design scales from kindergarten-friendly to middle school competitive.
“Our dragon perfectly represents what makes DaVinci unique – the blend of imagination and innovation. Parents love it, students wear it proudly, and it’s helped establish our identity in Utah’s competitive charter school landscape.”
– Dr. Sarah Chen, Principal
