The
logo was conceived of by Lynette Engle of Eyes Right Design,
who thought the transition from a caterpillar to a butterfly
epitomized a rebirth or 'Renaissance'. She suggested that in
the safety and warmth of the school (symbolized by the cocoon),
the child emerges as a fully developed being ready to explore
the world with its newly found powers.
In
choosing the name Renaissance we had in mind the transition Lynette
so well symbolized, but also had in mind the notion of a 'Renaissance
Man', the person who is very well versed in many disciplines
(thus our classical academic curriculum made replete with the
major components of the arts--music, dance, visual art). Also
the name 'Renaissance' is associated with the rise of reason
and culture as in the Italian Renaissance and the Harlem Renaissance.
