The Knife River Heritage & Culture Center (KRHCC) announced the non-profit has developed a new logo that will appear on all their communications as well as building signage.
Paul von Goertz, Board Chair, said the center has never had a logo, but now with the CRUSADER II boat shelter completed last summer, it needs building signage that can have other uses as well.
“Our board of directors determined what the logo should visually express and suggested some design elements. Most important was the town’s Norwegian heritage and culture which has become more apparent throughout the state with our annual Julebyen Norwegian celebration of Christmas, and now with the Viking ship LEIF ERIKSON on site. The fish tug CRUSADER II is all part of this too, as it honors all the Norwegian immigrants from the late 1800s and early 1900s who came to fish the waters of Lake Superior,” said von Goertz.
Von Goertz said the Board contracted with Surge Communications in Duluth to work the design elements into a logo that expressed the character and personality of the historical and educational center. “They did a nice job,” said von Goertz.
