The new logo, which accompanies this story, will be used on website (www.TheArtsCouncil.net), email, marketing campaigns, and all printed forms of communications.
The organization's logo, a symbol of the performing arts, included ballet, orchestra and theatre, was created in 1972 by Sawyer, Riley & Compton. The new logo - created by Morton, Vardeman & Carlson - symbolizes the organization's expansion into all forms of performing arts, as well as visual, literary, and film arts.
"While keeping our standard of excellence intact, we wanted our new image to maintain our core mission, which is to serve Northeast Georgia through enhancing, educating and expanding public interest in the Arts, while also reflecting the breadth or our arts programming and the excitement of our arts patrons," said Gladys Wyant, Executive Director of The Arts Council, Inc. "We think our new logo has done just that."
Since its incorporation in 1972, The Arts Council has significantly expanded its programming, developed beautiful venues, and increased its value and relevance to its customers by presenting nationally and internationally famed artists to the communities of Northeast Georgia. Today, The Arts Council serves over 35 local affiliate arts organizations, 51 schools, 300+ members, and over 12,000 patrons.
