The Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) unveiled a new brand identity that reflects the district’s values and aims to strengthen recognition across the community and position Madison as a destination school district.
The brand launch introduces MMSD’s first districtwide logo designed with a clear strategy and marketing lens. The logo was shaped by feedback from students, families, staff, community leaders and the Board of Education.
“This is a visual identity that honors our history while boldly looking forward. It belongs to our entire community, and it represents the strength, pride and promise of public education in Madison.”
Superintendent Dr. Joe Gothard

- A central book symbolizes knowledge, growth, inspiration and literacy as the foundation of learning.
- Pillars underscore strength, stability and unwavering support for students.
