One ofthe projects we decided to tackle this yearwas the design of a new logo and the branding that follows. Our current logo has beenused for a couple of decades.

As you can see,CHAMBER the new logo is a bit bolder and features iconicsymbols that represent Lafayette and our beautiful downtown. We hopeyou like it. Thank you to our committee and the designer of the logo,Amy Dryer, a Lafayette Chamber member who has created a number ofour event logos like “Dogtown Downtown” and “It’s A Wonderful Life.”LAFAYETTEHoliday Season kicks off with“It’s a Wonderful Life” Friday, December 2ndMr. Potter won’t be attending.
