California School Success Stories
Simi Valley High School
Simi Valley, CA | Public High School | 2,200+ Students
When this Ventura County powerhouse needed to modernize their Pioneer mascot, we created a bold new design that honors tradition while energizing current students. The updated Pioneer reflects strength, determination, and the adventurous spirit that defines both the school and California itself.
“The rebrand exceeded our expectations. Alumni love that we honored tradition, while students are excited about the fresh, modern look. Spirit wear sales are through the roof!”

West Whittier Elementary School
Whittier, CA | Public Elementary | K-5 | 650 Students

Daniel Phelan Language Academy
Whittier, CA | Language Immersion School | K-8
