Community Coalition Releases New Logo

The final design was picked from 25 logos submitted by students from Sallie Way’s graphic design class. Each student was instructed to design and develop a logo that demonstrates community ties, with messaging that supports the Coalition’s overall mission and captures the attention of a wide target audience– teens, adults, parents, community leaders, and administrators.

The three finalists included, Linnea Taylor, Melissa Scheibner and Shannon Smith with the winner selected by a vote of the entire Coalition. Shannon Smith’s logo was selected based on its positive, energetic graphic and accompanying tag line “Shaping better decisions.” Attached is a photo of her design.
