Warrenton aldermen select new city theme

Posted

By Tim SchmidtRecord Managing EditorWarrenton officials have selected a new theme, a move they hope better describes the city.Aldermen, at their May 19 meeting, chose “Small Town Living-Urban Access” as the new theme. It will replace “A City for All Seasons.”Two local designers will now create a logo to go along with the new theme.“The overall goal the board has been reaching for is to have a new direction from this logo,” said Terri Thorn, director of operations/finance officer. “It will reflect more of the feel of the city and something people can relate to.”Officials hope to review possible options for a logo at the June 16 board of aldermen meeting. They agreed they did not like how the hyphen broke up the wording for the new theme, but will await to see how the designers incorporate the phrase with the logo.An online survey was held to gather input on possible themes. Others theme options that were considered were “Warrenton-A Community of Opportunity,” “Warrenton-Combining the Best of Both Worlds” and “Family Values With Urban Benefits.”Of 153 votes cast, the winning theme received 59 votes, or 39 percent.“It really stood out,” Thorn said. “It’s small-town living, but close enough to St. Louis to have other benefits as well.”The new theme and logo will be incorporated into the redesign of the city’s website, Thorn said.The redesign is expected to be completed and unveiled by the end of August, she added.Warrenton
