Equality Charter School

Equality Charter School is one of the hightest performing charter schools in New York City, impacting Co-Op City and Castle Hill communities in the Bronx. Opened in 2009, Equality serves all students, regardless of their prior academic performance or needs, including those who are under-performing or are from families in need of more resources. Founded and led by Caitlin Franco, Equality Charter School includes one middle school and one high school with future plans to include: a College and Career Exploration program, an expansion to elementary school, and Adult Programming classes.

Working to rebrand Equality Charter School, PlanetFab has designed a new graphic identity, mission statement, and brand message that conveys the schools’ innovative educational and community mission. Equality is known for providing an engaging, academically rigorous, fully inclusive learning environment– and we wanted the new identity to reflect this. We realized the new identity had to inspire and encourage not only Equality students but the entire Equality community. To achieve this, we created original hand-drawn art, introduced a friendly display font and a geometric sans-serif as the supporting typeface.
