The April. crest
Our values in education
When developing our approach to marketing in the education sector, we thought it made sense to create our own school logo, taking the elements of the April business and brand, and applying them to an education market.
The 'school' motto takes inspiration from a real school motto that we remember from our youth - semper ad colestia, which literally meant always to the gods but was often simplified to just aim high. Adding in an April twist - springlike freshness and growth - led to volare sicut avis - meaning fly like a bird.
Speaking of birds, the crest features four swallows, and three tulips - all symbols of springtime, freedom and growth.
