St. Andrew’s Episcopal School

Who They Are

St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, established in 1952 in Austin, Texas, serves over 900 K-12 students and offers a wide range of sports programs. Known for its strong community and academic excellence, the school recently sought to refresh its identity with a new mascot to better represent its spirit.

Project Overview

St. Andrew’s partnered with Left Hand Design to rebrand their mascot, transitioning from The Crusaders to The Highlanders through a vote by students, parents, and faculty. After exploring several concepts, we selected the Red Deer, native to Scotland, as the school’s new mascot. Left Hand Design developed a full branding rollout for the athletics program and prepared all materials for the big reveal on the first day of school in 2018, resulting in a cohesive and memorable new identity for St. Andrew’s sports teams.

The designs include a full-body goat standing on a rocky cliff and a close-up head profile, paired with bold block lettering that reads “St. Andrew’s Highlanders,” creating a strong and dynamic athletic logo suite.

Sharp, angular lines and speed marks extending behind the head give the logo a sense of motion and aggression, symbolizing power and determination—perfectly fitting for a sports team identity.

St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Austin needed a fresh identity for their mascot. After moving from The Crusaders to The Highlanders—voted on by students, parents, and faculty—we created a bold, animal-inspired design.

Bringing The Highlanders to Life: St. Andrew’s Mascot Rebrand

Choosing the Red Deer, native to Scotland, we developed a full athletics branding rollout and helped prepare for the big reveal on the first day of school in 2018. The result? A vibrant, cohesive mascot identity that captured the spirit of St. Andrew’s.
