KINGSTON PUBLIC MARKET VENDORS' ASSOCIATION NEWS RELEASE

Kingston Market now has its very own logo!
It appears at the top of the side bar on the left of this page.
In a logo design contest recently organized by the Kingston Public Market Vendors' Association (KPMVA), over 30 designs were received from the public.
The winning design was created by Jonathan Sugarman.
"It was a challenging logo to design", said Mr. Sugarman. "How do you combine all of the elements of the Market- the produce, the flowers, baked goods, the architectural element of city hall- and still have an easy to read logo?
I approached it by making icons to represent these elements and placed them in a checkerboard pattern, which allows each element to stand out on its own without conflicting with the others."
The logo will be featured on new signs to be erected on market square (home of the Kingston Market). It will also been found on promotional pamphlets and a new market newsletter.
The KPMVA would like to thank all those who submitted entries to the logo contest. Each and every one was a winner in its own right- a clear demonstration of the pride Kingstonians have in their Market!
The winning logo was on display at the Market Square on Tuesday, April 17, 2001, at which time Mr. Sugarman was presented with a cheque for $300, his prize for winning the logo contest.
