Date1975TitleOriginal Kristin dove logo (1975)DescriptionThis original Dove logo was quickly replaced with a simpler dove symbol almost identical to the one we use today. It was felt that this design would not have looked suitable on blazers or hats.
The dove emblem has come to symbolise Kristin's caring character and youthful spirit. The idea for the dove is traced to Joy Jober who wanted a logo for a 'beautiful school with Dove-like tendencies'. It is said to have been inspired by the biblical scripture 'be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves' (Matthew 10:16)FormatDocument CreatorUnknownAccessOpenCopyrightCopyright Kristin SchoolKeywordsDoveEmblemLogoYearc1975
