Council selects logo concept for Farmington's 125th and the U.S. 250th commemoration

City Manager Shauna Reeves presented several logo concepts to mark Farmington’s upcoming 125th birthday and the United States’ 250th anniversary in 2026. Reeves said the design system is intended to be temporary recognition for the celebration rather than a permanent change to the city seal, and would be used on feather banners and downtown signage beginning Jan. 25, 2026.

Reeves asked the council for feedback; Councilor Rogers said she personally favored option No. 3. Councilor Bingham Kelley and Councilor Chiquino also voiced support for No. 3; Reeves said she would bring a fuller presentation in October with a complete plan for events starting Jan. 25, 2026. Staff emphasized the goal of honoring the milestone without broadly rebranding long-standing city marks.

No formal vote was taken; councilors provided informal consensus on option No. 3. Staff said a more detailed packet and timeline will be presented at the October meeting.
