Logansport Reimagined shows draft logo, offers Historic Preservation Commission a web space

Michelle Diles, a representative of Logansport Reimagined, presented draft branding and a proposed dedicated page for the Logansport Historic Preservation Commission at the commission's July 10 meeting.

"Logansport Reimagined, we define it as a community wide movement of reimagining Logansport's future and working together to create a uniquely better community," Diles said, outlining the project's history and objectives and showing how the draft logo uses local building silhouettes, colors and river elements.

Commissioners praised the concept but requested tweaks. Several members said the steeple in the center should be made taller or more defined so it reads clearly as a church; others recommended emphasizing the two rivers and the industrial bars that can also signal railroad tracks. Diles said the logo was intentionally somewhat abstract to avoid privileging a single building and offered to produce alternative building silhouettes for the commission to review.

Diles also offered the commission a dedicated page on LogansportReimagined.com for commission news, project listings and links to city applications. She said that content on the Logansport Reimagined site would not replace the city's official pages but would provide an additional public-facing resource.

The commission agreed to form a small ad hoc committee to review revised logo options and return to the full commission before a formal vote. Volunteers identified in the meeting included Chico and Judy; staff will coordinate drafts and email versions to commissioners for comment.

The commission did not vote on adoption of the logo at the meeting; members requested updated mockups before any final action.
