The original design of Washington Township High School senior Allison Cangelosi soon will be featured on the district’s food services department’s serving carts, uniforms, stickers and in a variety of other locations throughout school cafeterias.
Students in Dale Biebel’s graphic design class were tasked with creating logos, and district food service director Jennifer Mullin was invited into Biebel’s remote class as a “client” for the students to present their designs.
“Mrs. Mullin gave my students great feedback on what she liked and disliked, and the students helped critique and point out positives and negatives of the designs that she might not have noticed,” Biebel said.
The designs of Cangelosi and juniors Nick Bachich and Hermie Bryant Binas were selected as finalists.
“It was quite a challenge to decide, and we had our office staff and cooks to narrow the field,” said Mullin. “All of the participants submitted work that took time, showed great attention to detail and incorporated what we had discussed.”
School superintendent Joe Bollendorg, business administrator Janine Wechter and assistant business administrator Harry Finkle were recruited to help make the final decision and “voiced unanimous approval” for one of Cangelosi’s designs, Mullin said.
“It was such a great experience to work with Dale Biebel and his talented group of individuals,” Mullin said. “The food service department will be eternally grateful to have our own, individual logo. The students listened to what I asked for and delivered with such creativity and insight.
“We will use our new logo initially as label for our cookie trays before incorporating all over the district,” the food services director added.
Mullin presented the three finalists with Wawa gift cards for their efforts.
