Press release:
More than 400 people voted for the new logo for the Corfu Free Library. While the decision was a tight one as all three designs were very professional, only one logo was chosen as the winner by community members.
Residents can get the first look at the new logo at an unveiling ceremony that will take place on Friday, March 11 at 7 p.m. at the library, 7 Maple Ave. in Corfu.
Entrants in the contest were asked to design a logo around the library’s slogan, “Rooted in our past, growing our future,” and 19 entries were originally submitted. Of these, the Board of Directors selected three logos for the community vote. Voting was done online and on paper ballots that were available at the library during the month of February.
“The response to our logo vote was fantastic,” says Diana Reding, Library director. “We heard over and over how hard it was for people to choose just one as a favorite because all three of the logos were exceptional.”
The winning logo artist will be named during the unveiling ceremony, and they will receive a $50 gift card and many thanks for their hard work.
Light refreshments will also be served at the unveiling ceremony.
“We are so lucky to be able to feature a new logo that was created just for our library, and chosen by the community on our Web site, Facebook page, newsletter, and on all of our information materials,” says Kristie Miller, Board president. “We love our slogan and the new logo illustrates the deep ties that the community has to our library.”
