The Story of the Ribbon
Where did the ribbon come from?
The concept of the ribbon originated from a branding exercise completed with the new website vendor, Interactive Schools. Their agency was tasked with introducing impactful visuals on the new homepage that would do more than just look good. Together with the HKIS website team, the ribbon was chosen as a rich storytelling element. Since the new website launched in February, the ribbon motif was incorporated into the Spring Celebration on May 3 and brought to the big screen in the premiere of the new schoolwide video. It’s been a key design element in recent school communications.
