Historic Landmark Preservation Commission Adopts Logo Design by Randolph Community College Student

Just as it happens in the real world of work, when the Randolph Community College Advertising & Graphic Design students presented their logo designs (a fall semester class project) to the Randolph County Historic Landmark Preservation Commission last November, none of the designs were quite what the Commission was looking for. So three of the second-year students--DeAna Ramirez, Jamie Kellis, and Bryan Kennedy--decided to continue working with the Commission on a volunteer basis to rework the designs and come up with some new ideas.

The students decided to meet with the Commission members in groups of four or five to get a better idea of what the group was looking for in a logo. One of the earlier proposed logos had been developed based on the exterior of the historic 1909 Randolph County Courthouse. "One Commission member suggested we look at features inside the courthouse as inspiration for the logo instead of the outside," said Ramirez. "There was a unique ceiling tin used in that courthouse. I started developing a new logo design based on that ceiling tin."
