ConnectRichmond and ConnectSouthside have announced the winner of their community logo contest and are inviting the public to the unveiling celebration tonight at Café Mosaic.
“The winning logo is exciting, engaging, and represents the focus of people connecting to do good,” said Wendy Austin, Director of Southside Community Partners. “Our selection committee did an amazing job of reviewing a great variety of submissions from many talented individuals throughout the region,” added Melissa Hough, Executive Director of the Partnership for Nonprofit Excellence.
The winning design will serve as the official logo of the new ConnectVA online network, which unifies ConnectRichmond.org and ConnectSouthside.org. The shared platform will upgrade technology, create system efficiencies, and bridge information and resource gaps across the region while continuing to provide a uniquely local, community experience.
After more than 40 design submissions, presentations from five finalists, and lively deliberation, the committee chose by consensus the creative design by Ashlee Snider. She graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design in 2009 from Longwood University.
Ashlee says her design incorporates subtle concepts from the PNE and SCP logos. Elements of the design show the two regions coming together and represent the voice of all individuals, organizations, and communities who live and work here.
News anchorman Gene Cox will serve as the “guest bartender” tonight. A portion of food sales and all guest bartender tips will benefit The Partnership for Nonprofit Excellence and Southside Community Partners. The logo will be unveiled at 5:45 p.m. For full details, please visit www.connectrichmond.org or www.connectsouthside.org.
