Hickory North Carolina's New Logo

The City of Hickory has a new look as part of its ongoing wayfinding project.

What is Wayfinding ?

* Creates a city-wide sign system that is comprehensive, cohesive and attractive

* Attracts, welcomes and orients visitors

* Guides people to major destinations that promote tourism

* Provides seamless connectivity between destination sites

* Reduces sign clutter

* Develops an identity

* Provides a sense of place

The new wayfinding signs will help residents and visitors find their way around Hickory.

The logo will start appearing immediately on print and other materials; however logos on vehicles and equipment will be done gradually.

The Hickory City Councl is using funds from the parking fund to pay for this project. The parking fund is made up of parking fines and parking fees.
