On a yellow to brown gradient reads Rockland Central School District News

The Rockland Central School District is excited to announce the next phase of the branding process. We invite the entire Rockland community to participate in submitting a Rockland Wolves logo concept or design idea. Submissions can be original artwork, concept ideas described in writing, or examples of existing logos that you like.

The feedback we gathered from our Rockland community indicates that our wolf mascot and logo should embody strength, courage, pride, unity, wisdom, resilience, and integrity. Logo ideas or concept submissions will be reviewed by the Rockland Branding Work Group and will be shared with the logo design team to inform the design process. 

We are looking forward to seeing how YOU envision our new district logo! Please note:

  • Submissions are due no later than Thursday, June 19, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

  • Submissions can be electronically submitted, or paper copies can be delivered to the Rockland CSD District Office which is currently located in the Livingston Manor Central School building.

  • Please visit see the submission rules and guidelines below, or print this document for reference.

  • Late submissions will not be considered.

  • There is no guarantee that any one submission will be adopted as the official school district logo. All qualifying submissions will be considered to inform the logo design process.

  • We are the Rockland Wolves and our school colors are purple and black.

Please direct questions to questions@mergertransitionrocklandcsd.org.  Let’s go Wolves!

Submission Ownership and Usage

By submitting logo designs, concepts, or ideas, you are granting the Rockland Central School District (RCSD) full ownership of the submission. This means RCSD may use your entry for any official purpose, including but not limited to display on websites, business cards, letterhead, posters, and other branding materials. In addition:

  • RCSD reserves the right to adapt, edit, or modify any submission, including selected ideas or designs, as it deems appropriate.

  • RCSD is not obligated to use any selected designs and may choose not to adopt any submission. 

Process and Recognition

All submissions will be reviewed anonymously, without identifying information attached. Submissions will be considered based on creativity, artistic quality, and how well they represent the district and encourage school spirit. 

The Rockland Branding Work Group will present final logo recommendations to the Rockland Central School District Board of Education  mid-July, 2025. The Board of Education will have sole discretion to approve, modify, or decline to adopt any logo design.

Please note that:

  • A single winning submission may not be selected.

  • Elements from multiple submissions may be combined or used to inspire the final logo concept.

  • The final design will be developed in collaboration with a contracted graphic artist.

Any artist whose concept or design is selected for further development will be credited initially on the school district website and across various district communication channels (ex., social media, press releases, school and athletics websites). However, not all future uses of the logo will include attribution.

Once selected, any submission, whether used in whole or in part, becomes the exclusive and perpetual property of the Rockland Central School District.
