Janice Gibson
desi ed winning
entry in contest
O Apre 20, DM, a resolution of the
Township of Colborne, under the then
Reeve, Wm. K. Bogie, established a com-
mittee to set up terms of reference, rules,
etc. for a competition to select a logo to
best portray the To7,vraship of Colborne.
This committee subsequently invited
public participation through a contest
whereby all township residents were asked
to submit art work of what they thought a
crest for the township should be.. The con-
test closed on June 301 1932 with a total of
22 submissions being received. These were
reviewed by the committee and •minor
changes made to the winning entry.
On November 16, 1982, ,township council
met under the chairmanship of Reeve J.
tassel Kernighan and a cash prize was
presented to Janice Alli, RR 4, Goderich
to honor her for her winning entry. The
crest, now affixed to all of the township's
road vehicles and displayed on the
township's official stationery is also
available to the pubic as a full colour
miniature lapel pin. The crest is circular in
design, bearing the inscription "Township
of Colborne" in black letters on white field
in the outer' edge of the upper half of the
crest and the date "1850" centered in the
outer edge of the lower half of the crest
denoting the date of incorporation. Promi-
nent in the central part of the crest in solid
green colour is a map of the township. In
the upper left quadrant of the crest on a
.field of pale blue are three maple leaves in,
yellow, representative -of the maple forests
still in prominence here.
In the upper right quadrant appears in
black silhouette, a typical farm yard
depiction Of hipped roof barno silo, tractor
and nouse on a opt Piue backgroundancl a
yellow field in the- forefront" representing'
the farms and farm fields of the township.
Colborne's association with the modern
age is represented by a light aircraft in
yellow on a light blue background to re-
mind us of Sky Harbour Airport in the
township.
Against a light blue background, the
whitesails of a small boat outlined against
a yellow setting sun over the dark blue
waters of Lake Huron remind us all of the
1*;
Janice
Gibson and her
recreational pleasures available to of the design to tell of theagricultural base
residents of the township, and prominently of the township, are ears of corn with
displayed in the lower left and right areas kernels of yellow and, husks of green:
award winning crest design.
