WASHINGTON CO. COMMISSIONERS APPROVE NEW COUNTY SEAL & LOGO

  

Washington County has adopted a new official county seal and secondary logo.

County commissioners on Tuesday approved a new county branding guide and branding policy, which includes a redesign of the seal used on formal county documents and materials, as well as the release of a logo meant for general county branding and marketing.

Chief of Staff Carrie Marmol said the branding guide and policy are meant to establish a clear visual identity for the county.

The new guidelines provide the framework for how the seal and logo must be used, from where they are allowed to be displayed on county vehicles, to the approved branding color palettes, to the font and formatting of the text accompanying the seal or logo.  Specifically for the seal, the guidelines indicate the reasons for certain design choices – whether historical or symbolic – so that future county officials know why those choices were made.

Marmol noted that while departments are encouraged to quickly make the switch to the new seal and logo in terms of electronically or digitally, for physical items like business cards, those will be phased in to allow departments to use up their old supplies before ordering items with the new imagery.
