“Our space is open and welcoming – a place where people from all walks of life, and all ages, can gather together and enrich their lives through quality programming, useful services and resources, and of course, through reading,” says Bridgman Public Library.
The new Bridgman Public Library logo is vibrant, whimsical, and eye-catching. The straight sides of the letters are designed to look like book spines, and the multicolored, intersecting letters portray their fun and inclusive environment.
“After our new director began her role last fall, we began to update our strategic plan,” says Amy Abele, Marketing & Communications for BPL. “It just felt like the natural next step to redesign our logo, as we revised the library’s mission statement and vision for the future. Refreshing our branding allows us to better portray who we are. We really feel this new logo shows off our fun, friendly, welcoming side, and suits our mission!”
