As part of our 2021 business plan, the Parkdale Community Association identified the opportunity to reimagine Parkdale as Calgary’s most vibrant community. With exciting initiatives and programs and the new construction to revitalize the community with Calgary’s first fully accessible Rink and Hub, we felt a need to revitalize our logo.
In the spring, we launched a new logo design contest asking our neighbours for their vision and images of how they see Parkdale. We had a great response – thank you to all eight community members who represented youth to adults. The designs were used to inform the final design that include elements of the Bow River, the pathway, the city skyline, warm vibrant colours, and a winter/summer setting.
We launched the new logo on November 20 online and at our Parkdale Holiday Market community event. Parkdale merchandise will be available for sale at our community events to promote our new logo. The new logo will also be incorporated into the new Rink and Hub being built and finished as you read this, opening party planned for in February. Let’s bring Parkdale all together as Calgary’s most vibrant community. Looking forward can’t wait to see you at more Parkdale community events throughout next year.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! Here’s to a great 2022!
