Solis Park K-8 Mascot Brand Design

Irvine Unified School District opened Solis Park K-8 in August 2022. As part of the opening of a new school, I worked closely with the principal and admin staff to create their brand new mascot. The lion was voted on by staff to match the other large cats in the Great Park Neighborhood.

The principal wanted something that was vibrant, reflected the K-8 age group, and didn’t feel overly masculine nor feminine. This is where the design portion became tricky as we went through a wide variety of variations until their current mascot was formed.

Design Process - Approx. 2 Weeks, the designs below were Phase 1 Designs before finalizing the final design.
