The city of Millbrae is looking for a new logo for its 75th anniversary and has launched a contest for any resident with an artistic spirit to participate.
The new design may be used on the City's website, social media, business cards, letterhead, posters, souvenir merchandise and gifts, or anywhere else the City decides.
The best logos will be selected by a panel comprised of the 75th Edition Community Subcommittee and presented to the community for a voting poll to determine the top three choices.
Following the community survey, the three best proposals will be presented to the City Council, which will vote on the final logo.
It is important to note that the applications will be evaluated based on their visual appeal, their adherence to the concept that motivated the competition, the quality of the design and the ease of reproduction for the purposes indicated above.
The winner will be notified by email and announced on the Town of Millbrae website and social media channels.
