Ndola Trust School isn’t just a place of learning—it’s where excellence is engineered.

Located in Zambia, NTS pushes the standard forward, not just in the classroom, but on the field. Football isn’t an extracurricular, it’s a proving ground. And the Killer Bees? They’re one of the most decorated high school teams in the nation. Fast. Focused. Relentless.

This rebrand was never about a fresh look. It was about alignment—matching the visual identity to the legacy. Honoring the discipline, drive, and dominance that define both the team and the school.

Because when you set the bar this high, the brand has to rise with it.

Design

A good design like this does more than look good—it moves people.

It builds identity. One glance, and you know who they are. You feel the tone. You sense the standard. That’s the power of clarity.

It unifies. Players, fans and faculty suddenly they’re part of something bigger. A symbol like this becomes a banner to rally under. A reason to wear the colors with pride.

It performs. Whether on a jersey, poster, or phone screen, the design holds its form. Clean lines. Bold type. A color that commands attention. It scales, adapts, and never loses impact.

And most importantly—it tells a story.
Small. Fast. Precise.
The Killer Bees don’t just play.
They dominate.

Concept

Concept

This brand doesn’t play—it stings.

The Ndola Trust School Killer Bees mark is sharp, fast, and built for impact. The bold bee, wings flared and ready to strike, is more than a mascot—it’s a mindset. “BEES” hits heavy in bold type, while “KILLER” cuts through with surgical precision.

Set on a royal yellow backdrop—this isn’t just color, it’s a standard. Gold-level. Unshakable. It represents a team that hustles hard, strikes smart, and never backs down.

Small but lethal. Focused and fierce.
This swarm came to win.
