New BSM Logo 2013
In 2013 BSM launched a new logo, which will be fully implemented by end of the school year 2013–14. The new look BSM lion is an evolved, but simplified graphic version of the original – still blue and emoting British ethos – but now more dynamic, engaged and international, reflecting the learning experience of every BSM student and the vibrant environment in which they are taught. Three dynamic floating ribbons have also been added to the logo. The central blue ribbon – the voice of the BSM lion – represents the constancy of BSM values, which remain at the heart of school life. The green and jade ribbons, which stream and intertwine around the blue, represent key elements of the BSM educational experience; the warmth and personal engagement of the BSM community and the school's dedication to nurturing the individual learning path of each BSM student.
