New Logo Unveiled

This summer, on the feast day of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, we unveiled a new logo to the Belen community. The design depicts St. Ignatius offering his sword to Our Lady of Belen. Historically, we know the soldier-saint presented his sword to Our Lady of Montserrat as an expression of surrender to a new way of life. Our depiction with our patroness is an ode to our school’s heritage.

This logo will be prominently displayed in the Mission and Formation Office and worn by this year’s Peer Ministers. Additionally, all students will receive a sticker of the new logo on the first full day of school in their FLEX classes.  

“This logo is yet another opportunity to reinforce our Catholic-Jesuit identity to our students and community,” said Fr. Willie ‘87. “The illustrator who worked on this design with our communications team specializes in religious designs, but what makes the connection extra meaningful is that his brother, Fr. Patrick Kokorian, is an alumnus from the class of 1993. Fr. Patrick is a monk at Most Holy Trinity Monastery in Massachusetts and has dedicated his life to prayer. We are grateful for his prayers, and we are grateful to his brother for this beautiful new logo, which we will use moving forward with great pride.”

This new logo will enhance our family of logos and does not affect the primary school logo (crest with 1854), which is primarily used in academics, or the “B,” which will continue to be used in student life and athletics. 

The Belen Jesuit Preparatory School logos are trademarked, and correct use is essential to maintaining the marks and protecting their value. Without written permission, no vendor can sell any product with our logo or name. It is imperative to the brand that the school’s visual identity is consistent and appropriate; nothing should be published or printed (e.g., t-shirts, hats, sweaters, stickers, magnets, etc.) without written consent.
