Council reviews water‑tower logo options; staff to return with refined renderings

City staff asked Colleyville council members for feedback on logo and lettering options for the Hall Johnson and McPherson water towers, showing renditions that used the traditional spelled‑out Colleyville logo, a CV monogram and variations with and without a blue border.

Staff explained the two towers have different proportions and display areas, which affects lettering size and layout. For the Hall Johnson tower staff presented banded options that place shorter elements around the tank’s circumference; the McPherson tower renderings showed larger flat areas suitable for a spelled‑out logo.

Council discussion focused on legibility, consistency and the desire by several members to retain the city name on the towers rather than a monogram alone. Some members preferred a cursive “Colleyville” paired with the CV monogram, while others favored a more traditional block lettering treatment. One council member noted the Hall Johnson tower’s narrower display area makes banding appropriate, and the McPherson tower provides more flexibility for larger type.

Council members also discussed whether one tower could display the CV monogram while another kept the traditional logo; staff said the towers are far enough apart that mixed treatments would not be confusing. Staff told council no final decision was required at the meeting and that consultants can return with revised options — including the cursive/monogram combinations and four‑sided renderings — for further review.

No vote or formal action was taken. Staff said they would refine the designs based on council input and present the professional renderings at a future meeting.
