There was a big announcement last Friday, May 30, by the Wake Forest Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department. Director Ruben Wall unveiled a new logo for the recently restructured department – it added Cultural Resources – during a ceremony at the Renaissance Centre.
The new round logo featuring the town’s symbol, the Cedar of Lebanon tree at the intersection of North Avenue and Front Street, was created by the town’s Communications Department after a three-month process.
You will see it first on the town’s website, in new printed materials and selected promotional items. Gradually, however, the new logo will be on the department’s stationery, signs and uniforms as those items are reprinted or replaced.
Also, an update of the signs for the town’s parks and greenways is underway and will be made public in the near future.
The new logo will be featured prominently in the next edition of RecConnect, PRCR’s program guide, which will be redesigned with a new, easy-to-read layout. The newly designed guide will be available in mid-July.
“We’re very pleased with our dynamic new logo and our bold new look,” PRCR Director Ruben Wall said. “We believe we are sending a message that we are a progressive organization that is excited about serving our community.”
