Muskego's Logo Raises Some Questions With Aldermen

The Muskego Committee of the Whole (COW) had a short agenda, but the first item seemed benign enough, that of the City's logo.

Aldermen expressed concern when Mayor Kathy Chiaverotti announced at a prior council meeting that the new logo was now hanging in the council chambers and would eventually be adopted on the website.

No one felt the change wasn't objectionable, as it more closely matches what the gateway signs on Racine Avenue and Moorland depict.  However, as Alderman Keith Werner explained, "I think my issue with it is that it just 'happened' without discussion. I don't mind it, but it would have been nice to know."

Alderman Noah Fiedler agreed, stating that the look was the same and he liked the simple design, but "after all we're the council and we should have known about it."

Mayor Chiaverotti acknowledged that she felt there was communication prior to the change, and if they wanted to change it they could, but the idea was to be more consistent with the current signage.

Alderman Dan Soltysiak said the signs already weren't consistent, as the gateway signs use a darker shade of blue, and the signs posted in the business park have a silver and glass component to them.

They asked if it were possible to gauge what the community thought, and wanted to know if Jeff Muenkel to see if a poll could be posted on the city's website.  Muenkel said he could, but also asked Patch to do so.

While it's already a done deal, we would like to know what your opinion is of the city logo, found on the City's website.
