The Arts Council of Henderson County seeks a talented volunteer to design a new logo that more effectively represents our mission and community engagement.

Our current logo features a simple brush stroke, which primarily represents the visual arts. However, our council supports a broad spectrum of arts including visual arts, dance, theater, music, and comedy. We are looking for a logo that captures the essence of all these art forms and demonstrates how art connects and unites our community. We want our new logo to truly reflect the vibrant variety of arts we champion, from music and dance to theater and comedy.

The Arts Council of Henderson County is excited to rebrand after years of having our existing logo. We are seeking a talented volunteer to help us in this effort. Our current logo, a simple brush stroke, has a strong visual arts vibe.
A fresh logo will do more than just update our look—it will help us tell our story more effectively and inclusively. As we support a diverse tapestry of artistic expressions, we want everyone in the community to see themselves in what we do. Your creative vision can help us showcase that arts are for everyone, uniting and inspiring our community through creativity.

This is a fantastic opportunity for skilled graphic designers who are passionate about the arts and community building. Your expertise will not only refresh our brand but will also play a crucial role in how we connect with artists, patrons, and supporters across Henderson County. By helping us redesign our logo, you’re not just creating a logo; you’re crafting an identity that will guide our interactions and outreach for years to come that will hopefully tell a story of a community more richly connected through the arts. This project is a chance to leave a lasting impact on the arts community and to help us foster an environment where all forms of artistic expression are celebrated.

We've taken significant steps towards a logo redesign to perfectly align with our refreshed organizational image. Our website has been updated for enhanced user-friendliness and visual appeal, setting the foundation for the new logo. We've also gathered an inspiring collection of logos from Arts Councils across the U.S. to understand branding trends and drawn from regional elements iconic to our Blue Ridge Mountain community—such as our rich folk history, agricultural prominence, and natural landmarks like the French Broad River and Tuxedo Lake.

Once our new logo is ready, we plan to seamlessly integrate it across all branding materials, including marketing collateral, digital platforms, and merchandise to ensure a unified look. While our website redesign is largely complete, we will finalize our color scheme alongside the new logo to ensure harmonization. The launch will be supported by a community event and extensive promotion via press releases and social media to engage and excite the community. Furthermore, the logo will feature prominently in all future events, grant applications, and partnerships to consistently reinforce our updated brand identity.
