Entries for new logo in the town of Dolores are open.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n

The town of Dolores is looking for a new logo to beautify its letterheads, website and more.<\/p>\n

Anyone in Montezuma County is welcome to enter their design.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know there are a lot of creative people and artists in Montezuma County,\u201d said Dolores Mayor Chris Holkestad. \u201cHere\u2019s a challenge; we hope they go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holkestad said entries are open to everyone in the county, and not just people living in Dolores, since everyone comes to and enjoys the town.<\/p>\n

The design must \u201creflect the town of Dolores in some way,\u201d according to the entry form. It cannot be an oblong shape; be sure the logo is square or circle, and any color goes.<\/p>\n

Ideally, the design will be \u201csimple.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are we known for?\u201d Holkestad said.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the river, the mountains, the apple trees, even the historic hotel downtown, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole reason we\u2019re doing this is because we didn\u2019t feel we had a good logo that represents our town,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The logo now was never meant to be permanent; it was made in Clipart, Holkestad said.<\/p>\n

There are three artist categories: kids age 8 and under, 8 to 18, and adult.<\/p>\n

Of course, there will be one overall winner, and their design will become the new town logo. But there will also be a winner from the youngest division \u2013 8 and under \u2013 whose art will be the logo for a month or so, Holkestad said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to involve kids,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an entry form on the town website <\/a>that must be filled out and turned in by Dec. 31.<\/p>\n

Drop it off in person at the Dolores Town Hall, 601 Central Ave. Otherwise, email tammy@townofdolores.com<\/a> with the subject line \u201cLogo\u201d to turn it in remotely.<\/p>\n
