let’s take a look at how old mill elementary (omes) got their brand under control with a little canva magic 🪄—and how kaylee compton is helping lead the charge as the “accelerater” for her school.

Old Mill Elementary didn’t have a set system for using their logo, leading to multiple versions floating around—some outdated, some stretched, and some in completely different colors.

📌 why it was a challenge:

a school’s logo is its visual identity, but when it’s used inconsistently, it weakens the brand and creates confusion.

📌 impact on the client:

without a single, high-quality logo available to all staff, omes struggled to maintain a polished, professional image across communications.

staff members were designing materials using whatever fonts and colors they liked, leading to a chaotic mix of styles.

📌 why it was a challenge:

without official guidelines, every flyer, newsletter, and presentation looked different, making the school’s communication feel scattered rather than unified.

📌 impact on the client:

parents, students, and staff weren’t seeing a cohesive school identity, making it harder to establish a strong, recognizable brand.

teachers and staff were spending way too much time creating materials from scratch instead of focusing on what they do best—teaching.

📌 why it was a challenge:

staff members didn’t have time to format professional-looking materials, leading to either rushed designs or wasted hours trying to make things look right.

📌 impact on the client:

without an easy-to-use system, creating branded materials became frustrating, stressful, and inefficient for staff.

📌 what we did:

we set up omes with a fully customized canva brand kit, ensuring that staff had access to:

✅ high-resolution logos – no more blurry or outdated versions.

✅ official brand colors and fonts – keeping everything on-brand.

✅ ready-to-use templates – making flyer and newsletter creation effortless.

📌 how it addressed the challenge:

by centralizing branding assets in one place, staff could quickly find what they needed and create materials that looked professional every time.

📌 what we did:

having the right tools is great—but knowing how to use them is key. we provided:

✅ hands-on training for staff to navigate canva with confidence.

✅ branding best practices to ensure staff used logos and templates correctly.

✅ easy access so no one had to dig through emails to find the right assets.

📌 how it addressed the challenge:

staff quickly became comfortable using canva, reducing frustration and making it easy to keep branding consistent.

📌 what we did:

bullitt county public schools has a unique system where each school has an accelerater—a designated staff member who supports their principal with branding, communications, and public relations. at omes, kaylee compton took on this role and became the school’s branding champion.

📌 how it addressed the challenge:

having a dedicated point person like kaylee ensured that canva was used effectively, keeping all materials polished and professional.
