(a) The official logo shall appear as follows. The logo of the City of Brunswick shall have a white field and consist of brown capital letters spelling the word “BRUNSWICK,” with a silhouette of branches of a large shade tree, also brown, issuing from the letter “I”. A green border in a width similar to the width of the brown capital letters shall surround the brown logo forming a rectangle with rounded corners except for the part around the tree where it conforms to the contour of the tree’s silhouette. The space between the brown logo and the green border shall be one-half the width of the border. The silhouette of the clock tower shall be to the left of the silhouette of the shade tree. The clock tower shall be colored brick red. The mortar joints and clock face shall correspond in color with the white field background of the lettering and tree. The outline of the clock, clock letters, and roof of the clock tower shall be black.

(b) The brown letters suggest the original meaning of the name Brunswick in German dialect, Brunswic (Brunswig) or Brown Market. The name evolved in modern Germany to “Braunschweig,” a former duchy in central Germany. Brown also recalls the fertile earth which was farmed by the original settlers in the Brunswick area. The green border surrounding the name of the City and the prominent tree, shows that Brunswick is a city of many green trees, parks that are the pride of the City’s homeowners. White is the color of hope and is indicative of the City’s faith in future to grow and prosper. Red represents the vibrance and vitality of the community life in the city.
(c) Upon adoption of the new logo, the administration is directed to register the logo as the official symbol of the City of Brunswick. Upon securing official registration of the logo reasonable and timely effort shall be made to replace all original logos.
