David Alderman Wins Sudbury 375th Anniversary Logo Design Contest

Here are 5 things to know today in Sudbury.

1. The Sudbury Celebrates 375/Sudbury Day Committee, which oversees the Town of Sudbury’s 375th anniversary celebration in 2014, announces that Sudbury native David Alderman has been chosen as the winner of the committee’s logo design contest.

His design, selected from more than a dozen entries, features the iconic stone markers seen throughout Sudbury inscribed with the words “Sudbury Celebrates 375,” “1639-2014,” and “Community of Spirit.” As the logo contest winner, he receives bragging rights, including recognition in publicity and printed materials, plus the satisfaction of seeing his design on 375th memorabilia.

Alderman described his design as a “light-hearted tribute to a town steeped in history,” and explained that he wanted to use a symbol iconic to Sudbury but not one of the more common icons such as the Grist Mill. “The stone marker represents our past literally by being the original way finding system of Sudbury,” he said. “As the stones still stand next to our current road signs and direct us to our next destination, it ties the past together with the present and future.”
