It will not have escaped your attention that as part of the website redesign, the club has acquired a new logo.  This is the result of a competition where club members were asked to submit possible entries do be used as the new logo.  The requirements were quite specific, it had to fit into the available space within the page design and be suitably bold to be clearly identifiable as belonging to Stonehaven Art Club.  It also had to have potential for being used as a ‘favicon’ (the little icon that appears next to the name of the site in a tabbed browser).

A huge variety of design were received from 19 club members.  From the simple to the complex and the vibrant through to relatively understated.

The committee held a blind vote awarding points to their first, second and third favourite submissions.  When the votes were tallied,  it was a close run thing between President Ragnhild Ericsson and Vice President Penny Hyatt.  Ragnild just taking the win by a few points.  Her original design was enhanced by her grandson, Jamie Rendall, who turned it into a digital file that could be used on the website.

The committee would like to thank every member for submitting their entries, it was not an easy choice with several artists in the running right up until the final few votes.
