Ada and Bluffton Icon's new logos reflect that hometown feel

Times are changing. So are the Icon logos.

The Ada Icon and sister website, Bluffton Icon, this week introduce new logos to viewers. The logos unveiling is today.

The redesign project started in May and included several versions and fine-tuning.

"We wanted a uniquely Ada and Bluffton look and feel to our logos," said Fred Steiner of the Icon. "Changing logos isn't something you do overnight. It takes planning, studying other logos and a desire to make viewers feel at home on our websites. We think these new logos achieve that hometown feel."
