The Story Behind the Olde Towne East Logo
Its historic streetscape represents the distinctive homes and architectural details found throughout the neighborhood—but the house is also a symbol of belonging, stewardship, and community.
The oval resembles a traditional neighborhood marker, giving the design a sense of history and permanence. Deep blue conveys stability and civic pride; red adds warmth and energy; and the strong black-and-white contrast reflects the neighborhood’s bold character.
Even the name tells our story: Olde honors our history, Towne speaks to community, and East proudly identifies our place within Columbus.
Historic but living. Distinctive but welcoming. Rooted in the past while continuing to evolve.
