Throwback Thursday: County Logology

There’ve  been many logos that the County used before incorporating the current County seal, including the four-color design featured above.

Unit Manager Robert Laudy said the logo was designed for Public Works in the 1970s or early 1980s. Laudy said the logo originally had the words “Dept. of Public Works” across the center and was used on DPW vehicles. Dept. of Public Work was later removed to be used by other departments, he added.

You can see the logo in person in the “Wall of Signs” artifact display located near the elevators on the third floor of 5500 Overland Ave. at the County Operations Center.
