The Bluffton Icon and sister website, Ada Icon, this week introduce new logos to viewers. The logos unveiling is today.
The redesign project started in May and included several versions and fine-tuning.
"We wanted a uniquely Bluffton and Ada look and feel to our logos," said Fred Steiner of the Icon. "Changing logos isn't something you do overnight. It takes planning, studying other logos and a desire to make viewers feel at home on our websites. We think these new logos achieve that hometown feel."

Ohio Department of Insurance director Jillian Froment is reminding college students and their parents to ensure that adequate insurance protection is in place for the upcoming school year.
“An insurance review with an agent should be part of getting ready to go back to school,” Froment said. “Both students and parents will have that much more peace of mind knowing they have an up-to-date financial protection plan.”
