Colwood wants brand new look

Colwood wants a new image. The city is aiming to “refresh” itself by changing its old logo showing Hatley Castle inside a circle. The request for proposals calls for a new visual identity that sends a message Colwood has a unique connection with nature, is poised for significant growth and change, has a youthful and growing population and reflects its multi-generational, healthy and active citizens who work and play in that municipality. It must also convey Colwood’s values of integrity, accountability and collaboration. Colours required: bright blue, black, white and green. The request closes Jan. 31. Graphics and photographs for Colwood’s new website are also expected. Applicants interested in designing the new website also have a Jan. 31 deadline.

There are challenges at condominiums and other facilities because diverse groups are involved, each with differing needs, opinions and desired outcomes, said executive director Will Burrows. The panel includes Glenda Gies of Glenda Gies & Associates; Lynda Brind-Dickson of the B.C. Apartment Owners and Managers Association; Angela Wallis, resource conservation manager with King County Housing Authority; and Alex Limongelli of Waste Management of Canada.
