Halton Hills Mayor Rick Bonnette said it perfectly em- bodies what the community is about. "The new logo and look is fun and creative and I think people will have no problem embracing it," said Bonnette. He said although the Town was formed in 1974 it has been challenging to establish one brand that clearly rep- resents the combined urban communities of Acton and Georgetown along with the surrounding hamlets and ru- ral area that make up Halton Hills. The new community brand was developed by the Halton Hills Cultural Roundtable in partnership with the Town of Halton Hills and input from area residents and the busi- ness community. As the Town is marking its 40th anniversary this year, Brand Ambassadors are al- ready going out into the community to tell the story of "Small Town Living at its Best." Many groups and business- es have begun to embrace the community brand and are de- veloping ways to incorporate it into their philosophy and messaging. The brand design featur- ing a smiley face, lower case letters for the Hs, and the co- lours purple, gold and orange is intended for broad use by the community. It will not be replacing the Town's official corporate logo or tagline as they remain unchanged. The mayor explained the Town will serve as a caretaker for the new brand, but it truly belongs to the community for use by community groups, businesses and in support of tourism efforts, not municipal government services. "A community brand de- clares our distinctiveness, values and character. Halton Hills is a unique blend and special blend of character, community and countryside, with shared values and an ap- preciation for a simpler life and a sense of belonging," said Bonnette.
