San Juan EDC discusses new logo; committee to review bylaws before finalizing seal
Summary
The board reviewed logo options and discussed bylaw language requiring a circular corporate seal. Members agreed on a circular primary seal with alternative lockups for other uses and the president said he would review bylaws with staff before any bylaw change is proposed.
The San Juan Economic Development Corporation revisited proposed logo designs on Nov. 4, with an IT representative explaining why a circular corporate seal appears in materials and how alternative rectangular lockups can be used in other contexts.
"The seal is the circle," the IT representative said while explaining the rationale for having both a primary circular seal and alternative logos for different presentations. Several board members noted the corporate bylaws specify the seal must be circular and discussed whether changing the bylaws would be necessary to adopt alternate designs for some uses. The president said he would review the bylaws after the meeting with staff to confirm whether any change is required.
A motion to adopt a primary circular seal and the accompanying identity system (alternative lockups for different uses) was made and seconded during the meeting; the public transcript records the motion and second but does not record a roll-call vote or tally in detail in the public record. The president said he and staff would closely review the bylaws to ensure the chosen design does not conflict with the corporate seal requirement.
