The City of Watertown is considering creating a City Logo that could be used on official documents and presentations. The logo would not replace the City Seal. This week, the City sent out a survey to residents seeking opinions of what they think of the proposed logo.
Voting and comments can be made by participating in the City’s Flash Vote system.
In March, the City Council saw the the logo, which were created by graphic design company Nahi. At the meeting, City Council President Mark Sideris said the logo would be discussed by a Council subcommittee and the come back to the full Council for a vote.
The survey reads:
The City of Watertown currently has an Official City Seal, but it does not have a separate logo to help residents easily recognize City promotional materials and general communications.
Above are images of a logo concept for the City, which represents the waves of the Charles River, the four districts of Watertown, and the four square miles that make up our great city.
Those who have signed up for Flash Vote can click here to take the survey.
On the top wave curl, add a sailboat or scull to make it more like the Charles. Or a row of ducks.
This logo is very ugly, not to mention meaningless. I hope Navi didn’t get a lot of our tax dollars for this – but I’m probably mistaken. Get input from the residents. At least the price will be right, and the results would be an improvement.
I had mentioned in a prior post that this logo reminds me of a coiffured wax toilet seal. It still does.
Looks ridiculous.
I don’t have an issue with the logo design, just the need for it.
In 1632 the residents of Watertown protested against being compelled to pay a tax for the erection of a stockade fort at Cambridge; this was the first protest in America against taxation without representation and led to the establishment of representative democracy in the colony.
How about a peace logo?
