The Bonner County Human Rights Task Force is sponsoring a contest, inviting members of the community to help re-think and re-design its logo in preparation for its 30th anniversary in 2022.

“We’d like the help of community members in thinking about what human rights means to them, and how to symbolize that in a simple and understandable way,” Brenda Hammond, task force member said.

The winner will receive a $500 prize for the selected design as well as recognition in BCHRTF publications.

Hammond said the task force’s current logo is nearly as old as the organization, which was founded in 1992. It incorporates the words “Bonner County Human Rights Task Force,” and shows members of the community joining hands and standing together for human rights.

“It symbolizes unity, tolerance, equity, and fairness for all,” Hammond said adding that the design can be easily printed in one color for BCHRTF brochures, letterhead, and communications.

Thinking of what a new logo design might incorporate, Hammond said it could include elements that represent the beautiful natural setting that attracted many to the area and inspires them to make this community home.

“We might illustrate the need to reach across ideological divides to come together around shared values,” she added. “Most of us would also prioritize creating a community in which all of us feel safe and in which our children can grow up and thrive.”
