Issue
Kneehill County Logo
Council Agenda Item # 7(i)
Discussion
The Website committee (Barb Long, Bruce Sommerville, Mac deBeaudrap and Jeremy
Fenton) met Wednesday July 16 2003 to discuss a concept for the County website
The first step in the process was to define the identity of Kneehill County with a logo
and theme
Bruce introduced a concept of
Kneehill County — Supporting People, Environment & Agriculture
The problem with the existing logo is the gradient shading None of the local printers in
Three Hills can print this logo in colour An extra charge is involved to include it on our
forms, plus it takes additional time to quote jobs
A logo should stand out and be quickly recognized among thousands of other visual
images and support the County's vision and strategic plan
After reviewing the submissions, pins and websites from other municipalities the
committee selected the logo (designed by Yvonne Evans) that is currently used on the
County s corporate attire The enclosed conceptual artwork has been created by Mac
deBeaudrap
The logo is
Organized
Easily identified
Clean & Modern
The County shape is recognizable and unique to Kneehill The lettering looks forward (to
the future) The design cannot be perceived to favour one sector over any other
Producing letterhead, forms, pins etc is cost effective and can be done locally at a
moments notice The logo faxes and photocopies without distortion
Recommendation
1 That Council receive the logo as presented by the committee
2 That Council approve Administration proceed with hiring a graphic artist to
rfect the drawing
