Bringing a Phoenix Mascot to Life in Bricks
What does it take to turn a school’s spirit into something you can hold in your hands?
Fayette County Public Schools’ STEAM Academy set out to find a promotional piece that reflected their innovative, student-centered approach to learning. Their choice? A custom Playwell Bricks set inspired by their striking phoenix logo.

It’s always a challenge to translate a mythical creature into a brick build, especially when a critical piece becomes unavailable at the zero hour. But, much like the phoenix itself, this process was about resilience, adaptability, and creativity.
The final design captured both the spirit of the phoenix and the Academy’s mission to inspire growth, innovation, and transformation. Today, the custom set serves as a lasting symbol of their values and a powerful storytelling tool.
If you’d like to see what kind of custom brick design Playwell Bricks could create to represent your mascot, business, team, or even a core value, contact us and book your discovery call today!
