Program Logo- 12.09.2024
Students have been working to design logo options and design features that could be refined into a final logo for the Young Business Leaders Program. The students were given parameters to ensure the design represents Wicomico Middle, the program, and presents a professional image for the future of the program. Final options were selected, and then rated by the students. We are excited to share our final logo design!
