Community involvement was a key part of the process" states Personeus. "When we decided our logo also needed a facelift to match the street, it made sense involve the public again. That was the main reasoning behind the having a logo contest, instead of hiring one designer or one firm. We wanted to open the opportunity up to the community. We, as a community, will be living with this logo for a long time to come. We want the logo that is selected, the "winner", to represent Thayer Street's history, right now and its future."
