Logo Competition Winner announced
Please take notice of our beautiful new logo on our website front page and the colour one below!
Earlier this year we held a competition asking locals to submit their logo ideas to the Trust. All the entries were fantastic and it was a tough choice for the Trustees and Distribution Committee who were shown the logos with the artist’s name and details removed. The votes were tallied and we are happy to announce the winner is Golden Bay resident and photographer Carrie Dobbs!
