corralesHISTORICAL SOCIETY

FRESH AND FORWARD-LOOKING The new Corrales Historical Society logo represents the history of Corrales in a style for today A big departure from the now retired CHS logo the new logo sets itself apart from other historical society logos During the past year CHS has significantly increased efforts to continue to keep Corrales history alive promote the Society and market the Old Church as an events venue to generate additional funds for preservation and maintenance of the Old Church Our progressive future-acting organization is reflected in the new logo While reviewing printed and online materials the CHS marketing team discovered that multiple images were being used as logos and that the actual logo was looking dated and somewhat old-fashioned Desiring a new logo to represent CHS with integrity and one that would more accurately reflect our current marketing and preservation initiatives Susan Cahill appointed a logo team charged with developing a new look In designing the new logo the team wanted to include not only the Old Churchndashthe heart of Corralesndashbut also significant historical features that reach well beyond its doorstep Thus the new logo incorporates agricultural elements and the Rio Grande into the design The Rio Grande is

featured prominently in the logo as it is the lifeline to this community Without the river Corrales would not be the vibrant agrarian community that it is In our semi-rural community it is common to see fields being prepped for planting tilled to remove stones and weeds and add in fresh air and loosened soil that is more receptive to new seeds So it is

with this new logo It is fresh and unique just like CHS We never lose touch with our history but we are striving to make CHS an entity that will continue to grow and prosper in 2016 and beyond The team spent many hours over more than two months and sorted through dozens of renditions to settle upon this design The group focused on basic logo design elements colors and fonts as well

as flexibility of presentation for a variety of usesndashstationery website ads newsletter Facebook and flyers to name a few Guidelines for logo usage and various file formats will be added to the CHS website soon The new logo has already appeared in an ad in Corrales Comment on the CHS website and Facebook page and on business cards and note cards Watch as this new logo makes its mark in Corrales and in New Mexico
