Buckhead City Movement Adopts New '8-Point Rack' Logo

ATLANTA — The leaders of the movement to make Buckhead a city have reshaped the imagery representing themselves.

Buckhead City Committee during a fundraising event Thursday night unveiled its new logo, an eight-point set of deer antlers on a green background with the proposed city name.

“Everyone involved in the creation of this logo wanted antlers,” said Bill White, CEO of the Buckhead City Committee. “We decided on an eight-point rack — a buck that is mature, but still has room to grow. That metaphor accurately reflects Buckhead today — a solid community on the verge of becoming a distinct city managing its own affairs.”

The new iconography comes weeks after White and the Buckhead City Committee released a poll pointing to a plurality of Buckhead voters who supported the cityhood initiative.

Buckhead City Committee started as a study group seeking community support to split the tony residential, retail and business neighborhood from Atlanta.

Citing concerns about rising crime and outsized investment in City taxes with uneven return, BCC framers soon won support from a pair of state legislators from outside the City to pen bills that could bring a ballot measure before voters in 2022.

Even as an opposition organization, Committee for a Unified Atlanta (reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution), joined Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Buckhead Coalition president Jim Durrett in pushing back against the proposal, the committee continues to raise funds to pay for a feasibility study.
