Margaret Wilesmith stated Wilesmith Advertising and Design focuses on branding for municipalities and
non-profit organizations. The opening video presentation viewed by the selection committee was shown.
She commented a brand is a promise to residents,visitors,and businesses. It has four characteristics; it is
differentiated,it is relevant, it is consistent,and it has to be true.
Ms. Wilesmith and Scott Hurek reviewed the branding process and presented a video.
City Manager Gray stated the process took several months and the committee spent many hours with
Wilesmith Advertising and Design.
Mayor Turville commented the logo was a surprise and does have merit.
City Manager Gray stated the process included talking about the assets of the community and what drew
people to the City; the training aspects, the athletes, and the current community. The green identifies the
hills,the blue identifies the water,and the M-element is the champion itself. He commented you can be a
champion of anything and everyone can relate to being a champion.

Hiawatha Preserve, pole banners, the arch windows at City Hall, a water tower, the Arts and Recreation
Center building,and one incorporating the logo in itself as an archway or entrance way.

were confusing. Ms. Wilesmith stated the circle colors were not depicting a specific item and were
chosen for asthetics.

Wilesmith commented there were numerous cities using City of Champions. Council Member
Goodgame complimented Wilesmith Advertising and Design for the work on the logo.
