Pre-RFPCommunicationsDetected May 7, 2026

The Fiscal Officer reported that designer Eilana Smith has proposed to create a logo for Lemon Township for $229 and noted she would need ideas from the township on what to include. Trustees expressed agreement in principle but chose to table the decision until the next month’s meeting, indicating the purchase is not yet approved. This is a small but concrete branding and communications need, and the township appears open to options before formalizing an agreement with the suggested designer.Vendors in graphic design, branding, or municipal communications could propose alternative logo packages, expanded branding work, or digital asset kits aligned to township needs. A useful next conversation would clarify the township’s desired brand elements, digital uses (website, signage, vehicles), and any broader communication goals beyond a single logo.

The named designer and price point indicate a defined budget for a simple logo; trustees may still consider alternatives or expanded scope before final approval.
