Blues Fest introduces new logo

The Ritzville Blues Festival Committee unanimously adopted a new logo for the annual event during its regular meeting on Wednesday, April 9.

For the past couple of years the committee has discussed the need for a permanent logo to be used on all of the event marketing material including posters, brochures and the event Web site.

The logo will serve as a permanent icon for the event and will be used year after year.

After soliciting proposals from regional graphic designers, the committee elected to hire Jason Backus, owner of Concentric Business Services of Moses Lake.

Backus will also design the event poster and all print advertising for the 15th annual Ritzville Blues, Brews & BBQs, which will be held on Saturday, July 12.

New signage, featuring the new logo, will also be created to replace the existing signage. John Rankin of Flying Arts Ranch will tackle the sign painting.
