I'd agree with the suggestions leading for a change in logo. It looks more like a brand you'd see on a T-shirt & would work better for something very design-y, clean, & corporate.
High school is kind of anything but that. It's rowdy, fun, thrives on tradition (football, the dances/formals, yearbook, etc.).
Just look at their students:
http://seaside.monterey.k12.ca.u…Match their style. I could never see them wearing that logo without thinking that they really are "another brick in the wall." The look is too mechanical & modern for these students.
cloned's linked examples were cute. The first style would apply better at this particular school.
Based on the visual on these students though, they want an intimidating look. A mean spartan with bold, lively text (maybe even college style text since they are college-bound) might (not IS, but MIGHT) be what you're looking to produce for them.
You MUST think of the target audience here.
Sincerest,

Oi jeneraa,
Youngsters always need to protest against their school. Do you think a student is going to wear a shirt with pride from his school? Even if the logo is superCool she or he doesn't.
So i dont think the students are the audience for the logo. Nope.
The parents of the students are the audience. BTW who pays the bill?
- jeneraa0
Agreed. The audience does go beyond the students. It includes the people that are paying our dear NT friend here -- parents, admin., the school district, etc.
But hon, you are in Belgium. Your schools are different. I just came back from a schooling experience in Europe & experienced that difference first hand (I even mingled with high schoolers).
But perhaps that is aside from the point. The fact is, it is very unlikely that 100% of those students hate their school. Look at that cute picture database they put up. The fact that they had the desire to put the faces of themselves and their friends up on the school site & even use their own personal language shows that there is some element of a positive relationship between both the students and their school.
To say that all the students would dislike their school logo, no matter how cool, is completely ignorant. I hated high school, most kids do, but you bet that we bought our yearbooks every year possible, got the class ring, possibly got the varsity jacket (they tend to be available for purchase even if you are not in sports), or baseball caps.
But those that are in extracurricular activities are more than likely to have a great relationship with their parents, a strong comraderie with their fellow performers/teammates/peers, & definitely an enhanced relationship with their school. What might all of this amount to? Buying power. And teens have plenty of it. This generation of teens, which is part of my demographic generation (Gen. Y--2nd largest to the Baby Boomers) influences about $50 billion in family spending, after the fact that we spend $150 billion outside of that family influence. So, I think that some of those students just might buy a t-shirt with the hopefully super awesome logo that will be on it.
'nuff said.

I don't know. It doesn't look to hot when its reduced really small.
I like the Michigan State spartan.
I think the spartan you've designed looks like a single male at a 80's rock show.
Sorry yo!
