Did You Know..BEHIND THE DGN FINE ARTS MARK

Appearing for the first time in 2015-2016, the Fine Arts Department logo and identity represent the unified music and visual arts disciplines at Downers Grove North High School, as well as the Friends of Fine Arts parents' organization.

The mark builds upon the District 99 shield, a symbol  common to both Downers Grove high schools, forming a field of solid DGN Purple and expressing community values.

Within the field, a single point of light represents the intuitive spark of an idea, generating the desire to create. The idea may manifest into many artistic directions and travel as far as passion will drive it.

Vectors emanate from the point, evoking a spotlight on students' accomplishments. They extend beyond the confines of the field to suggest a lifelong journey in the arts.

The mark was designed pro bono by Scott Theisen, DGN parent and a creative director at renowned Chicago design firm VSA Partners.
