Council selects logo direction and asks staff to refine prairie-grass motif
Summary
Council reviewed multiple logo mockups, favored one design with a blue accent but asked staff to return a version with a smaller, embroidery-friendly native-grass motif and the option to use green lettering; members reached informal consensus to move forward with revisions.
The West Burlington City Council reviewed several proposed city-logo designs and reached an informal consensus on a preferred layout while asking staff and the designer to provide a revised version.
Members debated color (some preferring blue to make the mark "pop," others favoring green to match city and school colors) and discussed whether a tree or a native-grass motif would be better for small-format uses such as embroidery. Multiple council members expressed a preference for the mockup with a blue accent because of visibility; others asked for a variant that uses green lettering and a simplified prairie-grass element better suited to embroidery.
Council instructed staff to return with a revised version that reduces the size of the grass motif and tests how the mark will reproduce on apparel and signage. The presiding officer summarized the direction: keep the chosen layout and deliver a mockup with a smaller native-grass element and both green and blue lettering options for final selection.
