Daggett County approves new logos for Dutch John and Manila airports

Daggett County commissioners approved new logo designs for the Dutch John and Manila airports after a staff presentation showed artwork intended to match the county’s broader tourism brand. The chair introduced the item and identified Jordan as the designer; the board discussed two versions that differ only by the airport label and agreed to adopt both designs.

The presenter said the logos were created to align with the county tourism identity and included a fish motif. Commissioners suggested adding an “established” date and other local imagery later. One participant noted the image appeared to be AI-generated but said that adjustments — including propeller direction and landing gear details — should be easy to make if the board requests edits.

Speaker 3, who presented the mockups, said, “That’s the reason I did it because it kinda matches,” and offered to make changes based on feedback. Commissioners recalled local aviation history and discussed whether to research historic opening dates for inclusion on the mark. The board decided minor changes could be made after adoption if a historical date or other detail is identified.

A motion to approve both the Dutch John and Manila airport logos was made and seconded; the chair called for a voice vote and the motion passed. The board did not record an itemized roll-call in the transcript. The commissioners directed staff to finalize artwork and to add details such as an established date if the information is later confirmed.
