Commission agrees to keep current logo in short term, will explore color mockups

The Arts & Heritage Commission discussed community feedback on a proposed city logo and agreed to leave the design in place while exploring color variations and temporary seals for special events. Commissioners noted a "soft rollout" had already put the logo into public use and that community members had differing opinions on color and tone.

One commissioner framed the design as professionally produced and suggested modest changes: "I think it's a perfectly fine logo. It was professionally done," and other members suggested the commission ask the original designer for grayscale and color mockups to evaluate alternatives. The commission agreed to contact the designer (noted in the meeting as Visual/Design Concepts or "Noah") for sample color options and to include logo-appearance questions in the upcoming public survey, with a decision or recommendation to return to council later if changes are desired.
