This spring, the Village of Antioch began the process of developing a Strategic Marketing Plan to better communicate the character and identity of this place to its residents, businesses, and visitors. As a part of this process, several surveys and focus group conversations we conducted to get at the heart of Antioch—what is the feeling that the community evokes? How can we change the way we talk about Antioch to better communicate that feeling and celebrate how truly unique it is? And how can we spread the word about news and events more effectively to residents and visitors alike? We heard that people feel connected to our current logo and tagline, but that they needed a refresh. The revised logo keeps the basic design of the original, while elevating the typography and colors and simplifying the forms.
