The Thayer Street District Management Authority (TSDMA) announces Robert Nall of Manhattan Beach, CA as the designer with the winning logo from the Thayer Street Logo Contest. The TSDMA reported receiving (52) fifty-two logo submissions from around the world. The selection committee considered many aspects when selecting Robert’s logo from the group of six finalists, which included the old oval logo. Selection committee members appreciated that the logo captured what they felt was Thayer Street’s eclectic and vibrant spirit as well as incorporated the district street layout. They also considered the fact that the logo presented strongly when tested on multiple platforms both electronically and on printed material.


Rhode Island Creative Magazine’s Founder, Kimberly Sherman Leon had the opportunity to have an exclusive interview with Robert and talk about his experience and reaction of the winning logo design.


RICM “Now that you have received the news on being the winner, how did you feel when you first found out? What was running through your mind?”


ROBERT “I was real pleased. It is another certain level of appreciation, appreciation of my efforts, to win a contest, it makes me feel special. I was proud of myself.”


RICM “What interested you to do the logo contest especially since it wasn’t from your area? What was your challenge?”


ROBERT “It was the problem solving type of logo design that really interested me. It was a visual problem solving puzzle. It was more a visual challenge than anything else.”


RICM “What did you think about this contest overall?”


ROBERT “Visually I thought the opportunity to design for a group of businesses and per- sonalities was quite unique and it interested me to do this. Being part of unifying the voice of the community and the success of the community is amazing.”


Robert further continues to say, “What I learned about Thayer Street, it is a pretty cool area and hope to come out sometime and see it. It was an interesting design challenge and I am glad I won. “
