HighSchool
Make a difference.
Richmond High School is a contemporary inner-city school where ambition for education meets a reimagined crest. The identity honours tradition while signalling a new future for learning.
The crest draws on Richmond’s story: the creativity of its people, the diversity of its community, the intelligence of its learners and the expectation to strive for more. Shapes reference nature, community and the area’s industrial heritage, with a subtle ‘R’ anchoring the mark in place and purpose.
Colour gives the identity its voice. Orange brings energy and visibility. It is warm, optimistic and creative. Blue adds openness and possibility. It evokes the sky, limitless horizons, and the spirit of expansive thinking. Together, the palette reflects a school that is both grounded and forward-looking.
Applied across signage, uniforms, and architecture, the identity creates a unified environment that inspires students and staff alike.
At its core, the brand reflects Richmond High School’s promise to make a difference. It is a promise to students, staff and the wider community that the school is a place where creativity, diversity, intelligence and expectation come together to shape the next generation.
