Education Deal Toys

The galleries beginning on this page provide over 50 images of financial tombstones and deal toys from the education space. Among the deal toy designs shown here, you’ll find ones that play off visual themes familiar within this sector. These include school buses, teacher’s apples, blackboards, graduation caps, and diplomas.

But you’ll also find commemorated here a broad range of transactions. These include, for example, tombstones marking the acquisition of a cloud-based hiring platform for education professionals and teachers, a successful bond issue by a New York-based college, the sale of an educational software developer, Series A funding for an Edtech firm, the initial public offering on the Australian Securities Exchange of a provider of online learning courses, and the acquisition of an online study platform for high school and college students.

You’ll also discover here commemoratives unrelated to any specific financial transaction. These include awards and recognition pieces representing the broader education field. You’ll see, for instance, a commemorative recognizing the 150th anniversary of Princeton Football, another celebrating the groundbreaking for a residential college at Arizona State University, as well as a drug research collaboration involving Bayer and the University of Pittsburgh. You’ll also find commemoratives honoring speakers and participants at conferences hosted by colleges such as Harvard and Vanderbilt, and graduation awards designed for the Columbia Business School.
