Our logo has a special story
It evolved from a proposal by Răzvan Dan, a young talent whose interpretation was selected from over 100 submissions from Gheorghe Asachi University, Iași.
Today, we proudly work under its simplified version — a symbol born out of an expressive collaboration.
“I appreciated Răzvan's architectural perspective — we are building characters and careers; we’re at the cornerstone of future big names' evolution, and he managed to encapsulate that idea precisely in a typographic solution that stands the test of time,” said Teodora Migdalovici, founder of The Alternative School.
"It was an honor to be selected out of so many talented competitors. To be honest, the result came as an absolute surprise. Being the creator of The Alternative School's new logo is definitely a powerful motivation to keep pushing my creativity boundaries"
