When roughly 90 people gathered to begin planning the Spark!Fishers summer festival, one group began working on a new logo for the event.  The planning committee released the logo Monday morning (shown above).

A city news release says the logo showcases a traditional typeface while injecting fresh colors and a modern style into design element.

“While brainstorming our vision for Spark!Fishers, it became clear that we sought to illustrate how Fishers’ history has propelled us toward the future and innovation,” according to Spark!Fishers PR Committee Co-Chair and local business owner, Jocelyn Vare.

The Spark!Fishers organization is taking applications for vendors and parade units through March 30th.  You can get more information at this link.

“Spark!Fishers is truly a community-led event, from start to finish,” says PR Committee Co-Chair and Nickel Plate District business leader, Erik Braden. “Whether through entertainment, sponsorships, the parade, or volunteerism, there are countless ways for the community to get involved and contribute to the creation of the inaugural event.”

The Spark!Fishers Festival was organized following the decision by the Fishers Freedom Festival organization not to sponsor the event in 2018 after the city decided to fund other nonprofit organizations instead of financially supporting the Freedom Festival.  The Fishers Freedom Festival has been held the weekend prior to July 4th since 1989.  The Spark!Fishers event is scheduled for Friday, June 29th and Saturday, June 30th, 2018.
