The current Antioch High School logo was created in the early 1970s by John O’Hara as an emblem for the football team’s helmets. Other sports teams soon began using the design, and before long the artwork found its way onto all manner of items as a symbol of the school.

The “A” in the center stands for Antioch (naturally) and the circle surrounding it represents unity of the students and athletes who wear the symbol. The arrow always faces forward, symbolizing the need to move ahead and overcome obstacles. Two feathers below the arrow represent teamwork and working together to achieve success.

Originally the logo used three colors: cardinal, black and white. Gray was added more recently to the arrow and feathers to better incorporate the school’s colors.

In print, the logo should always have the arrow pointing forward or toward the center of interest on the page (as shown here). When no focal point is present, or when the logo itself is the dominant image, the arrow can point in either direction. Pantone 201 or similar ink should be used for the red. The text used is Gil Sans Condensed. The logo above with text is available here in GIF, JPG, PDF, or EPS versions.

When used on a dark background, the logo should not merely be inverted. Instead, the logo should be used with an outline, which keeps the arrow, feathers, and “A” in white and the circle visible in black. <— At left is the art needed to print the logo properly on a dark background. Vector art files are available for black and white or black, white, cardinal, and gray.

The Superfan Stan character debuted in September 2006, both in illustrated form and as a costumed mascot. Pictures of Stan at events can be found on his Facebook page. Versions of Stan turned slightly to the right or left are available here. Note that the artwork cannot be merely flipped left-to-right, as the word Sequoits on his belt would then be backwards, as would the logos on his chest and left bicep. The grayscale versions will photocopy far better than the color versions. Click on any of them for an enlargement. EPS files, suitable for printing, are available here (right or left).
