With a new brand and a new logo, the campus has received a makeover. We, The Leader staff, feel it’s time The Leader has one too — but we need your help. We have prided ourselves on being a publication that serves the Fredonia population, and we want your input on what our new logo should be. We want our readers to decide how they want their paper to look. So, we are calling on our readers to design a logo for us.
The task? Create a logo that will bring a new face to The Leader. The logo will replace the current clocktower logo and will be featured on our banner. It will be on the front page of every print issue, as well as on the homepage of fredonialeader.org. The Leader has been Fredonia’s only student-run news publication for 132 years, since 1882, and creating its logo can be an impressive addition to your resume.
Once all entries are submitted, The Leader e-board will vote on which logo best represents The Leader. All submissions will also be posted on all Leader social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) in order to judge how the campus and community feel about each logo, as well. The e-board members will take these opinions into account as they cast their votes.
If you have any questions or comments, email Editor in Chief Maggie Gilroy at gilr3446@fredonia.edu. We are eager to see how you want The Leader to look!
