The city of Covington recently unveiled its new logo, designed to depict the city’s goal of being the south’s premier destination to live, work and play.
Featuring three modern, distinct icons in separate boxes, the logo consists of a large tree symbolic of an active lifestyle and recreation opportunities, the skyline of the Covington Square representing commerce and a historical house signifying the rich history and housing available in Covington.
“We work every day to position ourselves as the top place to live, work and play and this logo helps drive that home,” said mayor Ronnie Johnston. “It is a fresh, clean, modern look for the city and is more in line with who we are and where we are going than the previous logo.”
The city utilized the services of the University of Georgia Design Studio.
After reviewing approximately 200 logo designs and revisions submitted by the Design Studio, the city council determined a direction and city of Covington public media specialist Beth Ivey created the final version of the logo.
The implementation of the new logo will begin immediately with digital content like the city’s website and Facebook page and will encompass new and improved signage and eventual repainting of the city’s largest water tower off of Hwy. 278.
