The Solano Local Food System Alliance has a new logo!
The Alliance Steering Committee began this process about a year ago in collaboration with a graphic designer to enhance our presence in the county (and among other food policy councils) and provide a brand for when we engage in advocacy, policy work and send statements to outside groups.
The Alliance is a coalition of diverse organizations that believe in our mission of creating an environmentally regenerative, economically viable and socially just local food system in Solano County.
First was a brainstorming session with words, ideas and images that come to mind when we think of Solano County, which was a challenge because Solano County is so geographically diverse, with open spaces, water access, cities and farms. Then the real work began, to reflect an additional layer of images that would represent the local food system.
The Alliance examined logos from other regional/national food policy councils and advocacy groups for inspiration and ideas. Steering committee members then reviewed multiple versions of the logo to lead to the final design.
The final design incorporates farms and ranches, rural and urban, land and water, with a spirit of cooperation to build a strong and healthy local food system in Solano County.
