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."

From CoreBuilt Construction and Con Basileus Holdings

Austin Core, owner of CoreBuilt Construction LLC and Con Basileus Holdings LLC, announced his companies will support the Ada Boots for Bulldogs project in a major way.

Core said that his construction company will donate between $700 and $1,000 from each construction project out of his own pay to Boots for Bulldogs until that organization’s $44,000 goal is reached. So far nearly $13,000 is raised without Core. He has adopted one door already a $350 donation about two months ago.

The Icon spotted this plate in Janauary and we've held it since then. It has a Marion, Ohio, license plate frame and you'll find this on a red Chevy Cobalt LT. We'd appreciate anyone who has an idea of its meaning to let us know.

The Ada Historical Society will hold its August monthly meeting on Monday, Aug. 20, at 6:30 p.m. in the Ada Public Library. All those interested in Ada history are welcome to attend.
