MINUTES <br />PARKS & REC COMMISSION <br />SEPTEMBER 7, 2023 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2 <br />logos. He stated that Pioneer Park received the most discussion internally, specifically on <br />whether they wait to incorporate the new play node in the logo. He asked for input on that park <br />and whether there were additional changes that were desired for the other logos. He noted that if <br />additional changes are requested, he would anticipate that would have an additional cost. <br /> <br />Chair Horwath referenced the Thunder Bay logo, noting that it almost comes across as an <br />advertisement for the power lines. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schletty commented that is what it looks like though. <br /> <br />Commissioner Abruzzese acknowledged the input of the Chair but noted that is what you see at <br />the park and how people find it. She stated that related to Pioneer Park she does like that the <br />playground is not featured. She noted that while other logos feature a playground, that is often <br />the only feature of those parks while Pioneer has many more features. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hipp commented that perhaps the play node could be in the background. <br /> <br />Commissioner Williams stated that they could move forward with this logo now and if a <br />community building is added in the future, the water feature could also be added at that time. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director agreed that they could make changes in future years as things evolve. <br />He noted that Pioneer Park is a big park with a lot of features and perhaps there end up being <br />more than one logo for that park. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mui commented that he likes that the Pioneer Park logo does not feature the <br />playground because it has so many other features, whereas the parks that feature the playground <br />do not have the same level of amenities. He commented that he likes that the Pioneer Park logo <br />is different. <br /> <br />Chair Horwath agreed that the parks that feature a playground, that is the main focus of those <br />parks whereas Pioneer Park has more elements. He stated that he would support including the <br />playground as an element but also recognized that adding too many things could take away from <br />the overall aesthetic. <br /> <br />The Parks & Rec Director commented that he would assume that the designer would be willing <br />to work with the City on future designs, noting that perhaps another logo will be developed in the <br />future for Pioneer Park. <br /> <br />Chair Horwath noted that another idea for the future would also be to have seasonal signs that <br />feature different activities for the season, such as snowshoeing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Mui commented that when it comes to branding, eventually you just have to pick <br />something and start, and you can build from there in the future.
