Welcome, 2. Approved March 10, 2022 Minutes Motion made by Mr. O’Shaughnessy and seconded by Mr. Connors 3. Logo Contest Update • Recap -- Logo chosen at last meeting all applications central figure of Minuteman and appealing on a number of fronts Also chose a 1st runner up and a 2nd runner up • Post meeting member found that the central feature (Patriot) of the logo is being used by a company called Patriot Woodworks • Since logo is not original, jury reconvened to choose another logo. Considered going to 1st runner up but that was not an ideal option to use as a logo – instead will continue to use it in other ways • 2nd runner up has submitted some design variations that included Captain Parker and color • Member comments and concerns included ambiguous; hard to read; not sure that Battle of Lexington is clearly conveyed; also missing some spark; others felt design was clean, Captain Parker and 1775 is familiar enough to imply the battle; suggestions to improved design included adding April 15 would be helpful; adding color(s) would be helpful, discussion on what these designs would look like printed on various media. Possible changes to logo included see if red, white and blue in the logo or maybe gold circle; could have more text or rearrangement, maybe April 19, 1775 instead of 1775-2025; maybe Lex250 instead of 250
