75th Anniversary logo presentation – Mike Neu presented two versions of a draft logo that he designed. The committee is very pleased with the design and recommended minor changes. The
logo will be used as a brand element and can be coordinated with other sponsor logos. The portrait format design represents the past with railroad tracks, a steam locomotive engine,
the old Aggieland water tower, and the star from the first city logo. The design represents the future with the George Bush PL&M and screened images of Kyle Field and buildings of the
future in the background. A large “75” is the central element. The text: College Station, 1938 – 2013. The color palette is the same as that of TAMU incorporating 2 shades of maroon,
black, gray, white and cream. THANKS, MIKE! GREAT JOB!
