Here is your first look at the new Chamber logo! It was designed by Kymberlee Raya, Big Shot Marketing, who said the tree symbolizes growth and the green of the leaves symbolizes money – we felt that it looks like a very entrepreneurial tree! What a perfect combination to represent the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce! And, of course, Park Ridge has been a Tree City USA awardee for 27 years!
The team that worked with Big Shot Marketing was led by Chamber board director, Joshua Nichols, Unbound Technology.
You’ll be receiving your member seals for 2012 soon – we wanted to wait until the new logo was approved.
A big thank you goes to Kymberlee Raya, Big Shot Marketing, for her creativity (and patience!).
