Our School Logo

Our logo is a photograph of the Kino School sign that sits above the front entrance to the school. It was created during the 1999 – 2000 school year. About six students worked on it, welding the letters out of scrap metal, chains, pieces of old bicycles, and so on. Some of the letters are collaborations; some are the creation of a single student. We kind of forget now who did what, but the artists were David Anderson, Kurt Greever-Hoover, Emmett Kleber-Rose, Ernest Espinoza, and Adam Kidd (who’s not in the picture). Ed Davis helped.

Here's what former Teacher and Director of Kino, David Anderson, had to say during the graduation of 2000:
"Creating this sign was a quintessential Kino project. To the innocent bystander the process looked like a riot in a junkyard with lots of noise, smoke, fire, and the occasional intemperate word. They sprayed on eye-popping colors, flung the letters onto the roof, tastefully illuminated them with black lights, and the result is startling and, I think, wonderful. Each letter is exuberant, idiosyncratic, and unique, much like our students, but the sign, for all its spiky particularity, is harmonious, like Kino on our good days."
