This is the logo that I've created for the Fleur-De-Lis Academy of Ballet that was recently funded through Kickstarter. I've been working with a dear friend, Ariadne Conner, who fell in love with ballet as a young child.
That love took her on a journey of learning the craft from schools including the Houston Ballet Academy, Chamberlain Ballet in Plano, Texas, The Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, Miami City Ballet School, School of American Ballet in New York City, The School of Ballet in Chicago, and two years as a trainee at the Richmond Ballet.
After joining the faculty of the Kentucky Governor's School for the Arts she noticed the need for a pre-professional ballet training in Kentucky and was inspired to create a new studio.
Knowing how passionate Ariadne was about ballet, I was eager to assist in any way that I could. Together we created a mark that combines the Fleur-De-Lis (the seal of Louisville, Kentucky) and the form of a ballerina. Some see the dancer first, while others see the Fleur-De-Lis, and then after a double take the other form reveals itself.
If you want to know more about Ariadne's vision, check out her Kickstarter page!
