Summit Public Radio & TV Sports a New Logo

»Posted by on Oct 25, 2011 in General Discussion | 0 comments

This week we introduced a new logo for Summit Public Radio & TV.  It was designed by a professional graphic designer along with new letterhead.  We’ll use these designs on all future publications and correspondence to achieve a consistent look and hopefully a recognizable branding.  The logo was based on a photograph of Bald Mountain in Breckenridge where our electronics site is located.  The photograph, as seen in the banner for this blog, will continue to be used for the blog, our website, and other publications where a photograph works better than a graphic.  The star on the logo, which is actually the “dot” over the “i” in Summit, represents the approximate position of our site on the...
