Mr. Kinney has <br />worked on a proposal for a few design choices and will present to the Board for thoughts <br />and opinions. He’ll subsequently be requesting Board direction for next steps. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Mr. Kinney has been requested by the Board to create a proposal of a few County logo <br />designs to present in a future meeting. These designs will focus on reinterpreting the <br />current logo imagery. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION: <br />The current logo challenges the County in a couple of different ways. First it was adopted <br />before online media was a standard way to communicate with the public and the logo is <br />not versatile enough for the many ways that it is brought into service. Secondly, the way <br />it is designed it is difficult to meet certain state legislative requirements that a logo must <br />meet, such as marking fleet vehicles. <br /> <br />Mr. Kinney is a graduate of Oregon State University, with a degree in graphic design and <br />illustration and has designed many logos for businesses and organizations in our area. <br />Employing him to work on this project is financially advantageous for the County. Mr. <br />Kinney will be presenting his designs to the Board and will be requesting Board <br />directions for next steps. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACTS: <br />No fiscal impact at this time. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />No Attachments <br />
