DGN Fine Arts Logo - Explained


BEHIND THE MARK

The DGN Fine Arts Department logo and identity debuted in 2015 and represent the unification of the arts at Downers Grove North, as well as the DGN Friends of Fine Arts.

The mark builds upon the District 99 crest, a symbol common to both Downers Grove high schools, forming a field of solid DGN Purple and expressing community values.

Within the field, a single point of light represents the intuitive spark of an idea, generating the desire to create. The idea may manifest into many artistic directions and travel as far as passion will drive it. 

Vectors emanate from the point, evoking a spotlight on students' accomplishments. They extend beyond the confines of the field to suggest a lifelong journey in the arts.
