Harborfields HS Student Wins Art Logo Design Contest

GREENLAWN, NY — Isabella "Izzy" DiPaolo, a student at Harborfields High School, won the Long Island Nets Logo Design contest and had her winning design printed on a Nets t-shirt, the school district announced. DiPaolo is a current sophomore at Harborfields High School.

The Long Island Nets are the NBA G league affiliate of the Brookyln Nets Basketball team and their home court is inside Nassau Coliesum. To honor their home on Long Island, the Nets created a t-shirt design contest for the five townships. The contest rules stated that entrants had to be under 18 years old, keep the design to the front of the shirt only, use no more than three colors, and fit into a 10"-14" x 10"-12" area. Contest entrants were also tasked with making sure the submission reflected the lifestyle of their township, while weaving in elements of the Long Island Nets brand.

DiPaolo was honored for her win at a game on Jan. 6 at Town of Huntington Night. In addition to being honored at the game, DiPaolo was interviewed on camera and presented with courtside seats where she met and mingled with the members of the sports marketing team.

"We are so proud of Isabella on this incredible achievement," said Dr. Philip Farrelly, Harborfields High School principal, in a news release. "Seeing her logo featured by the Long Island Nets is a testament to her hard work and vision. It brings immense pride to not just Harborfields High School, but the entire community. We are thrilled to celebrate this well-deserved recognition and can’t wait to see what amazing design she comes up with next!"

Prior to this contest, DiPaolo designed the rebranded logo of the Career Readiness Network at Harborfields High School, beating out many of her peers. She is an active member of the high school’s Art Club, where she first heard of the contest opportunity.
