Minn. DNR unveils Legacy Amendment logo

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Department of Natural

Resources has unveiled a logo to identify all projects funded by

the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment.

The four-color logo was designed by Bernadette Stephenson of St.

Cloud, who was one of 76 participants in the design contest.

The logo had to illustrate the clean water, outdoor heritage,

parks and trails, and arts and cultural heritage funds that were

established after voters approved the Legacy Amendment in 2008. The

amendment raised the sales tax by three-eighths of one percentage

point. The contest was mandated by the 2010 Legislature.

The logo will be displayed throughout the state at access points

to projects supported through the four funds, and on their printed

and other materials.
