LOGO DESIGN | CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE
Quite a number of years ago I entered an open competition to design a new logo for the City of Cottage Grove, Minnesota. My design was selected out of approximately 300 entries and is shown to the lower right. The green “C” represents growth and the blue “G” represents the nearby river. The interior negative space within the “C” and the “G” creates a “tree of life” symbol.
Approximately 8 or 9 years after the logo was in use I felt the design would benefit from an update and created a refresh of the design shown above. The new design was sent to the city and is on file there but has not yet been published to date.
