Douglas County Native Wins CAC Logo Design Contest

DOUGLASVILLE, GA — The Cultural Arts Council of Douglasville/ Douglas County announced Tuesday a new CAC logo.

“The Magnolia logo has served the arts council well for the past 31 years and we are excited to move forward into a new generation” said Executive Director Emily Lightner.

In June of 2018 the CAC hosted a Logo Design Contest allowing local and national artists to submit a logo design. At the CAC’s annual meeting, held on June 14, over 25 logos were displayed. The Arts Council members and the community were able to vote for their favorite logo. The top two logos were then presented to the Cultural Arts Council’s board of directors for voting.

The CAC Logo Design Contest winner is Whitney Constien.

“It was a difficult decision to make and a lot of thought and research went into the new logo,” said Lightner.

Constien serves as the Communications Coordinator at the Douglas County Chamber. She is a native of Douglas County where she graduated from Chapel Hill High School. During her senior year, she participated in the Douglas County Career and College Institute in the Graphic Arts and Video Production program. After graduating high school, she attended Kennesaw State University and received her Bachelors of Science degree in Human Services with a concentration in Nonprofit Administration. Throughout college, Whitney continued to develop her graphic design skills through various projects for classes and internships. Her passion and skills for graphic design have continued to flourish as she serves the community in many different capacities through her role at the Chamber.
