Design Explanation (2009) |
The Carrollton logo features three marks coming together. This represents the prevalence of the number three in Carrollton, with three future light rail stations, three potential rail lines, and three historic rail lines upon which the City was founded.
It also reflects the City's forward motion and the Trinity theme, with Trinity Mills Road and the Trinity River. The three logo marks also convey some of the City's strongest assets: connections, convenience, and community.
|
Connection |
Carrollton is connected not only by transit options such as rail and highways; it is also connected in that family and friends feel rooted here. The City is connected to its past and history; it is connected to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex through its location and rail ties; and it is connected to a global community, both through its proximity to the airport as well as its diverse community.
|
Convenience |
Carrollton, as an "inner ring" suburb, is conveniently located 20 minutes from everything, including shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and downtown Dallas. In addition, it is convenient and easy to do business with the City, especially from a developer or resident's perspective.
|
Community |
Carrollton is bound by a sense of community. It is a big City that feels like a small town, a place where neighbors know and care about each other, where family, community, and church still come first and where people continue to look out for each other.
Carrollton's brand conveys the City's vision for its future aspirations, and will help set the stage for a vibrant City that truly will be, as the new tagline states, "Where Connections Happen."
