I've had the privilege of serving as Chief Communications Officer for the American Public Education Foundation (APEF) since its inception in 2014. When this non-profit was formed, I was honored with the task of creating a logo that represented this nationwide organization. Founded to help protect America’s economic and national security interests through in-school programs and services, APEF believes in the power of public education. With the tall order of creating a mark that encompassed this mission, I hit the drawing board with excitement. The logo, which features the American flag and textbook merged into a single mark, stands proudly for all to see. With a traditional serif font and patriotic colors, this logo speaks to the significance of advocating for high-quality education in America's public schools.
