In March 2023, the South Colonie Central School District embarked on a comprehensive rebranding process following a mandate from the State Education Department. After months of collaboration, planning, and community input, the Board of Education adopted a resolution in February 2024 to change the district’s athletic nickname to Colonie Wolf Pack™, effective July 1, 2024. 

Branding South Colonie

Branding South Colonie is an ongoing initiative centered on defining and enhancing the district's identity through cohesive visual elements and messaging. With a pending trademark application, the district aims to solidify its unique presence in the community and beyond. By aligning with core values of Academics, Wellness, Character, and Community, South Colonie seeks to foster a recognizable and trusted image that resonates with stakeholders. This branding effort underscores a commitment to delivering a comprehensive educational experience and maintaining a strong connection with its diverse community.

The visual identity of the South Colonie Central School District is a powerful representation of our values and mission. Our logo, colors, typography, and imagery are carefully crafted to reflect our commitment to Academics, Wellness, Character, and Community. Consistent use of these visual elements in all marketing and communications materials strengthens our brand, fosters a sense of unity, and enhances recognition within the community. Through our visual identity, we convey the essence of South Colonie's dedication to providing an exceptional and holistic educational experience for every student.

As part of our rebranding efforts, we have developed new imagery that embodies our values and vision as a district. We are thrilled to announce the launch of our first official merchandise store in collaboration with our design partner, Elevation Ten Thousand.

Our new store features a variety of items proudly displaying our new Colonie Wolf Pack™ imagery, providing an excellent opportunity for everyone to showcase their school spirit and unity. You can explore and make purchases directly from the store by visiting Colonie Apparel.

We will continue to add new apparel items regularly. If you have suggestions for specific items, please email your requests to Communications@scolonie.org.
