A New Identity for a New Era
In conjunction with America 250, our nation’s upcoming birthday celebration, Sullivan County is launching a design contest for a new county logo. It is an exciting initiative to refresh its image and strengthen community pride. This is more than just a rebranding effort—it's an opportunity for residents to shape the visual identity of their home and contribute to a lasting symbol of community spirit.
A logo is more than a mere graphic; it represents identity and values. For Sullivan County, the current logo has served its purpose well over the years but now could use an updated look reflective of the county's undeniable strengths and great future. The county government believes that a fresh logo will better represent our hardy community and underscore the county’s beauty and caring culture.
The contest is open to all residents of Sullivan County, including students, professionals, and hobbyists. Whether you're a graphic designer or someone with a creative flair, your vision is welcome.
Participants are invited to submit their logo designs that capture the essence of Sullivan County. Designs should be versatile, scalable, and incorporate elements that represent the county’s unique characteristics—be it natural landmarks, cultural heritage, or community values.
Entries should be submitted in digital format (preferably vector graphics) to ensure clarity and adaptability across various media.
Deadline: All entries must be submitted electronically to Commissioner Darlene Fenton (dfenton@sullivancountypa.gov) by 3 pm June 13, 2025. Be sure to include your name, contact information, and a brief description of your design concept. Late entries will not be considered, so participants are encouraged to start working on their designs early.
Judging Criteria: A panel of judges will review the submissions based on creativity, relevance, simplicity, and how well the design communicates the county's identity. The judging panel will include local community members.
Prizes and Recognition
The winning design will become the official logo of Sullivan County and will be used on county stationery, signage, and promotional materials. In addition to the honor of seeing their design represent the county, the winner will receive a prize package that includes:
A cash prize of $500.
A feature in the local newspaper and county website.
Invite to a special county event where the new logo will be unveiled.
The new design will not only mark a new chapter in the county's history but will also serve as a modern symbol for generations to come. Get your creative juices flowing and be a part of this historic transformation. This is a chance for every resident to contribute to a piece of local history. The county government encourages everyone to get involved and showcase their creativity. Whether you are an experienced designer or just starting out, your contribution could be a key part of Sullivan County's future.
