Oak Park is introducing an updated version of the village’s logo to reinvigorate the government’s brand.
The original “people tree” logo was developed in 1973 and updated in the 1990s. The new logo still shows human figures linked together as a community and depicts the supportive role of the village government, according to Oak Park officials.
The previous update changed the type of style for the words “Oak Park.” Green was chosen as the color for the “people tree” because Oak Park is filled with trees, according to officials.
“As the Village resets its overall look and feel, it seeks to strike a balance between embracing the community’s historic past and supporting its thriving present as a diverse, welcoming, inclusive and integrated community while also building the future for the next generation,” officials wrote in a newsletter.
The logo will be updated throughout 2025 on official village correspondence and other government property. An improved village website is also expected to launch soon, according to officials.
