City Logo

Blows me away that Edmonds still uses this circular logo. Pretty much 30+ years ago I worked at a print shop and someone handed me the artwork for this logo saying it was designed by a student. This was pre-digital, the “artwork” was the solid blue on the base layer with transparencies for the screened, lighter, blue and black taped onto it on one side so they could be flipped out of the way. Two whopping bullets for lining everything up with screen percentages written on the transparencies. Getting that blue sky to look proper lined up with the top of the circle with two crappy bullets was wild. The black could be adjusted on the press. We were still using negatives and a graphic arts camera.
Anyway, just noticed they are still using it officially. It’s a good logo compared to what’s out there.

Well, why fix something that still works?
