Description

Threshold offers an artistic interpretation of the City of Red Deer logo. The title implies a portal for new beginnings and interactions. A threshold is a place to be reminded of our special connections to the land and to each other. The leaf design comes from the aspen tree, symbolizing reciprocity, service, resilience, and adaptability. The Red Deer River Watershed is represented at the heart of the artwork. Watersheds include a rich diversity of lakes, wetlands, creeks, and tributaries, that support the surrounding lands. Similarly, City Hall provides critical services that support our economies, environment, and quality of life. The logo and associated elements were designed to express progression, friendliness, and balance.
