Cleveland, OH -
Today, Steve King,
Chairman of the Republican
National Committee's Committee
on
Arrangements, unveiled the official logo for the 2016 Republican National Convention
to be held July 18-21 in
Cleveland, OH. The logo
was designed by Falls Communications, a Cleveland based firm. Designed to highlight the enthusiasm of the host city as well as the Republican
Party the logo incorporates a guitar, a nod to Cleveland being home to the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame, as well
as
an elephant, the traditional symbol of the Republican
Party.
"RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and I would like
to thank the team
at Falls Communications for the work they did
on
the logo for the
2016 Republican National Convention.
The artwork combines
the elephant, which
has
come to symbolize the Republican Party and a guitar,
which symbolizes the spirit of Cleveland's most famous museum,
the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame," said Chairman
King. "Cleveland is a fantastic
city and is the perfect place to serve
as
host for our 41st nominating convention and as the
launching pad for the Republican nominee. As this powerful logo
is
seen the world over, it will come to
be identified with
the convention and the city. We felt it was important
to utilize a local company
to design the logo,
and as has become the norm, the talent in Cleveland at Falls Communications did
not disappoint."
"The elephant marching
forward represents strength with
a positive attitude. The guitar is a proud symbol
of
the rock and roll history of Cleveland. The end result is a strong patriotic solution
that conveys the excitement and importance of this significant
event," said Rob Falls of Falls Communications.
"We are proud that this
logo will be a part of our city's and nation's history."
The logo will be
prominently featured on all
official convention related materials and communications from
this point forward. It will
take place in history
with the logos and symbols of the 40 previous Republican
National Conventions.
